Function

Following binding of Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH), GNRHR associates with G-proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)-calcium second messenger system. Activation of GNRHR ultimately causes the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).

    ““... The state’s one function is to give.

    Unless ‘twould rather wilt than fade.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “No one, however powerful and successful, can function as an adult if his parents are not satisfied with him.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)
