• Cathepsin D is the primary protease for the generation of adenohypophyseal vasoinhibins: cleavage occurs within the prolactin secretory granules.

  Vasoinhibins are a family of N-terminal prolactin (PRL) fragments that inhibit blood vessel growth, dilation, permeability, and survival. The aspartyl…

• GABA inhibition of cyclic AMP production in immortalized GnRH neurons is mediated by calcineurin-dependent dephosphorylation of adenylyl cyclase 9.

  The neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important modulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), and consequently of reproducti…
