The Research Progress of Neuregulin 1 in the Reproductive Development

Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is one of Neuregulin proteins, a kind of epidermal growth factor encoded by the selective shear of NRG1 gene, which promotes proliferation, differentiation and survival of neurons, muscle and other cells. NRG 1 has an important regulating function on female reproductive endocrine. The research development of NRG1 in the field of animal reproductive endocrine is described on the hypothalamus, pituitary and ovarian in this paper.
