Abstract
⺠The GnRH gene family consists of three paralogs in gnathostomes, GnRH1, 2 and 3. ⺠The three genes arose by two rounds of tetraploidization in the ancestral vertebrate. ⺠The GnRH3 gene has likely been lost early in the tetrapod lineage. ⺠A putative GnRH4 was probably present at the origin of vertebrates and may still exist in some extant species.
