Term Name: gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone activity
Synonyms: GnRH activity, gonadotrophin hormone-releasing hormone activity, LH/FSH-RF, LHRH activity, luteinizing hormone-releasing factor activity, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone activity, luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone releasing factor activity
Definition: The action characteristic of gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH), any of a family of decapeptide amide hormones that are released by the hypothalamus in response to neural and/or chemical stimuli. In at least mammals, upon receptor binding, GnRH causes the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) by the anterior pituitary.
