Summary: Predicted to enable hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within luteinizing hormone signaling pathway involved in ovarian follicle development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 23 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to several human genes including LHB (luteinizing hormone subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

The male neuroendocrine reproductive axis is quite sensitive to short-term stress exposure, with significantly decreased pulsatile LH secretion and increased hypothalamic Rfrp neuronal activation occurring rapidly, within minutes, and decreased Kiss1 neuronal activation also occurring after longer stress durations.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
