It is a member of the seven-transmembrane, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodopsin-like_receptors rhodopsin like][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein-coupled_receptor G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)] family<ref>DOI: 10.1210/edrv-15-4-462</ref> and is activated by the peptide hormone [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadotropin-releasing_hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)] or the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodopsin-like_receptors rhodopsin like][https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/4d5m synthetic agonist)]. The GnRHR is expressed on the surface of pituitary gonadotrope cells as well as lymphocytes, breast, ovary, and prostate<ref>DOI: 10.1111/j.1742-4658.2008.06677.x</ref>. Its activity is critical for successful reproductive function. Several diseases are associated with a dysfunction of this receptor or the corresponding signaling cascade. | It is a member of the seven-transmembrane, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodopsin-like_receptors rhodopsin like][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein-coupled_receptor G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)] family<ref>DOI: 10.1210/edrv-15-4-462</ref> and is activated by the peptide hormone [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadotropin-releasing_hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)] or the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodopsin-like_receptors rhodopsin like][https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/4d5m synthetic agonist)].

In this conformation, the ECL2 of GnRH1R forms an <scene name='86/868179/Beta-hairpin_structure/2'>extended β-hairpin</scene> and is anchored to the extracellular tip of TM3 through a conserved disulfide bond between residues C114 and C196. | In this conformation, the ECL2 of GnRH1R forms an <scene name='86/868179/Beta-hairpin_structure/2'>extended β-hairpin</scene> and is anchored to the extracellular tip of TM3 through a conserved disulfide bond between residues C114 and C196. | ||
Following structural highlights are different to receptors of this family: The well-known conserved D-R-Y motif is in fact the <scene name='86/868179/D-r-s_motif/2'>D138-R139-S140</scene> motif in GnRH1R. An intrahelical [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_bridge_(protein_and_supramolecular salt bridge] is observed between D138 and R139, as well as a polar interaction between R139 and T265 (This interaction restricts the outward movement of those TMs associated with GPCR activation). The <scene name='86/868179/N-terminus/6'>N-terminal region</scene> (aa 18–33) before TM1 is well folded and appears inserted into the orthostatic binding cavity. | Following structural highlights are different to receptors of this family: The well-known conserved D-R-Y motif is in fact the <scene name='86/868179/D-r-s_motif/2'>D138-R139-S140</scene> motif in GnRH1R.

This structure belongs to the numerous structures of GPCR currently published. The G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily comprises an estimated 600–1,000 members and is the largest known class of molecular targets with proven therapeutic value. They play an incredible role in a range of functions in the human body, and increased understanding of these receptors has greatly affected modern medicine. In fact, researchers estimate that between one-third and one-half of the marketed drugs act by binding to GPCRs.<ref>DOI:10.1186/1471-2105-9-363</ref> | |||
