Mammalian G proteins and their cell type specific functions. (2005, background): “The receptors for corticotropin-releasing hormone (263) and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) (588) primarily act through Gs, while receptors for gonadotropin-releasing hormone (445), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (211, 720), and the many prolactin-releasing factors (186) mainly act through Gq”
