DescriptionGT1-7 Mouse Hypothalamic GnRH Neuronal Cell Line
OverviewGT1-7 is an immortalized mature mouse hypothalamic GnRH neuronal cell line. Immortalized GnRH neurons were generated by introducing a transgene containing the promotor region of the GnRH gene coupled to the coding region of the SV40 T-antigen oncogene into transgenic mice1. The resulting anterior hypothalamic tumors were removed from one of the mice and the cells dissociated and cloned. GT1-7 is a clonal line of mature differentiated GnRH neurons that exhibit high levels of Gnrh1 mRNA and secrete GnRH in response to depolarization.
Alternate Names
  • GT1-7 hypothalamic cell line
  • GT1-7 neural cell line
Background InformationGonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a neuropeptide that is synthesized and released from GnRH neurons within the hypothalamus and is required for normal reproductive development and function. The scarcity and scattered distribution of GnRH neurons in the rostral hypothalamus make the biological study of the cells difficult.
