The human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor GnRH1R is a GPCR with an important role in the human reproductive system and of interest as a drug target. Here, the authors present the 2.8 Å crystal structure of human GnRH1R with the high affinity antagonist drug Elagolix and the observed unusual ligand binding mode was further analysed with functional assays and molecular docking studies.
