Which protein mediates hypothalamic migration of GnRH cells from the primitive olfactory placode?
Which protein mediates hypothalamic migration of GnRH cells from the primitive olfactory placode? Correct Answer KAL protein
A defective KAL gene located on chromosome Xp22.3 has been ascribed to Kallmann’s Syndrome. The KAL protein mediates hypothalamic migration of the primitive olfactory placode of GnRH cells, and its absence contributes to inaccurate synthesis and anosmia of GnRH.
