The GnRHR2 promoter is active in cell types derived from extra-pituitary tissues.
Transcriptional regulation of the porcine GnRHR2 gene in the testis was examined.
A putative repressor at − 1693/− 709 and activator at − 708/− 489 were identified.
NF-κB, SP1/3 and overlapping EGR1/SP1/3 sites confer activity in the ST cell line.
This is the first report of functional elements within the GnRHR2 gene promoter.
