Evolutionary origin of the structure and function of gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone: insights from lampreys.

abstract：:The steroid hormone 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] can elicit biological responses via a nongenomic pathway that involves rapid opening of the plasma membrane Ca2+ channels. There is also evidence that 1,25-(OH)2D3 influences insulin secretion in the pancreatic beta-cell, which is primarily mediated by ...
