lüll The role of prokineticins in the pathogenesis of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism Abreu AP; Kaiser UB; Latronico ACNeuroendocrinology 2010[]; 91 (4): 283-90The prokineticin system comprises two multifunctional secreted proteins, prokineticin-1 (PROK1) and prokineticin-2 (PROK2), and their cognate G protein-coupled receptors. The prokineticins were originally identified as endogenous regulators of gastrointestinal motility. Currently, these bioactive peptides are involved in a wide spectrum of biological functions, including angiogenesis, neurogenesis, circadian rhythms, nociception, hematopoiesis and immune response. Mice homozygous for null mutations in Prokr2 or Prok2 recapitulate the human phenotype of Kallmann syndrome, exhibiting severe atrophy of the reproductive system and hypoplastic olfactory bulbs. Indeed, the evidence from several naturally inactivating mutations in the PROK2 and PROKR2 genes in patients with Kallmann syndrome and normosmic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism also indicate the essential role of PROK2 in olfactory bulb morphogenesis and GnRH secretion in humans.|Animals[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gastrointestinal Hormones/*genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypogonadism/*genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Mutation[MESH]|Neuropeptides/*genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Receptors, G-Protein-Coupled/*genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Receptors, Peptide/*genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Endocrine-Gland-Derived/*genetics/metabolism[MESH] |
