== Function ==
The receptor for gonadotropin-releasing hormone 2 ([[GnRH2]]) is encoded by the GnRH2 receptor (GnRHR2) gene. In non-hominoid primates and non-mammalian vertebrates, GnRHR2 encodes a seven-transmembrane [[G protein-coupled receptor]]. However, in humans, the [[N-terminus]] of the predicted protein contains a frameshift and premature stop codon. In humans, GnRHR2 transcription occurs but whether the gene produces a functional [[C-terminus|C-terminal]] multi-transmembrane protein is currently unresolved. Alternative splice variants have been reported. An untranscribed [[pseudogene]] of GnRHR2 is also on chromosome 14.<ref name="entrez"/>
