Research Abstract |
Transcriptome analysis with Sevens, a database of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), showed the expression profiles of GPCR in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons obtained from GnRH-green fluorescent protein transgenic mice. Among those GPCR, kisspeptin receptor GPR54 is considered as a key molecule controlling GnRH secretion. This study also showed brain region specific enhancer of Kiss1 gene and histone acetylation and chromatin loop formation are responsible for Kiss1 gene up-regulation.
