Kisspeptins are a family of peptides encoded by the KISS-1 gene that are involved in GPR54 mediated cell signaling. Kiss-1 gene products are involved in metastasis suppression and the regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. A variety of kisspeptin peptides are available for use to study their unique functions.

Kisspeptin and its receptor GPR54 have recently been identified as key signaling partners in the neural control of fertility in animal models and humans. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons represent the final output neurons of the neural network controlling fertility

The Kiss-1 gene encodes a secreted protein that is proteolytically cleaved to produce a number of structurally related peptides, with high interspecies conservation, globally termed kisspeptins. The original niche for the role of kisspeptin in human physiology is derived from

Reproduction is controlled in the brain by a neural network that drives the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Various permissive homeostatic signals must be integrated to achieve ovulation in mammals. However, the neural events controlling the timely activation of GnRH

Reproductive maturation and function are maintained by a complex neurohormonal network that integrates at the so-called hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. This system is hierarchically controlled by the decapeptide, GnRH, which in turn is under the dynamic regulation of multiple stimulatory and
