[edit] Additional site

This article identifies a second locus of the gene for GnRH on chromosome 20. --David Iberri (talk) 05:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template conflict

The {{protein}} template or one of the templates used inside it seems to have a conflict with the reference template {{ref}}. --JWSchmidt 22:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Converting the references with this converter fixed the problem. --JWSchmidt 13:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GnRH in other organs

Perhaps not yet fully understood, but I would argue against the assertion that GnRH activity outside the CNS is "poorly understood". Some fascinating articles out of UBC in Vancouver, Canada suggest a clear role for GnRH I and II in the differential regulation of matrix metalloproteinase expression (MMP-2, MMP-9) as well as that of TIMP-1 in the placenta. GnRH appears to be an essential regulator for the invasion of the endometrium by cytotrophoblast cells of the blastocyst. (see this article Chou, C.-S. et al.
