Avian GnIH mRNA and peptide and GnIH-R mRNA and binding sites characterized in European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris, Bentley et al., 2008), house sparrows (Passer domesticus, McGuire and Bentley, 2010), Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica, Bentley et al., 2008) and domestic chicken (Gallus gallus, Maddineni et al., 2008). Rodent RFRP and GPR74 peptides characterized in hamster (Mesocricetus auratus, Zhao et al., 2010). Checkmarks indicate presence in the cell type, dashes denote lack of mRNA, peptide or binding sites and blank spaces indicate lack of evidence.
