RFRP-3 (mouse) is a functional ortholog of avian gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH), binding to GPR147. RFRP-3 (mouse) reduces Progesterone synthesis by inhibiting FSHR and key enzymes involved in steroidogenesis (P450scc, 3β-HSD, StAR). RFRP-3 (mouse) induces Apoptosis (increase of p53). RFRP-3 (mouse) also suppresses the ERK signaling pathway. RFRP-3 (mouse) can be used for research of follicular development.
