Description
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a decapeptide neurohormone originally isolated from mammalian hypothalamus. Its amino acid sequence is pGlu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2. This peptide is characterized by a conserved N-terminal tetrapeptide (Glu-His-Trp-Ser) and C-terminal dipeptide (Pro-Gly) across most known isoforms. In the cephalochordate amphioxus Branchiostoma lanceolatum, a peptide with an identical sequence and molecular mass to mammalian GnRH has been identified. The highest concentrations of this peptide are localized in the anterior body region and exhibit seasonal variation, with a peak coinciding with gonadal preparation for spawning.
GnRH represents an evolutionarily ancient signaling molecule, with its origins traceable to the base of the chordate lineage. Its presence in amphioxus, an invertebrate chordate, suggests a fundamental and conserved role in neuroendocrine signaling related to reproductive processes that predates the evolution of the vertebrate pituitary gland.

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
