TLDR
The goat type-I GnRH receptor sequence shows high homology with sheep, cow,buffalo, equine and human, suggesting divergent evolutionary path of this gene in these groups.Abstract:
In the present study, complete ORF of GnRH receptor transcript from goat pituitary was amplified, cloned inprokaryotic system and sequenced. The goat type-I GnRH receptor sequence shows high homology with sheep, cow,buffalo, equine and human. Like in other mammalian species in goat too, the GnRH receptor lacks a C terminal tail.Amino acids which are critical for structure and function of the receptor were found conserved. Few amino acidresidues conserved amongst ruminants were found to be replaced in other mammalian species suggesting divergentevolutionary path of this gene in these groups.read more
