Development and aging of the Kisspeptin-GPR54 system in the mammalian brain: what are the impacts on female reproductive function?

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
The prominent role of the G protein coupled receptor GPR54 and its peptide ligand kisspeptin in the progression of puberty has been extensively documented in many mammalian species including humans. Kisspeptins are very potent GnRH secretagogues produced

SAR and QSAR Studies on the N-Terminally Acylated Pentapeptide Agonists for GPR54

open access: yes, 2016
Kisspeptins (KPs) play important roles in the regulation of physiological and pathological states through activation of the cognate receptor GPR54. Our previous studies to downsize KP agonists to the essential GPR54 pharmacophore identified peptides 1−3 ...

Does kisspeptin signalling have a role in the testes?

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Kisspeptins are a family of overlapping neuropeptides encoded by the Kiss1 gene that regulate the mammalian reproductive axis by a central action in the hypothalamus to stimulate GnRH release. Kisspeptins and their receptor (Gpr54 also called Kiss1r) are

Luciferase assays for the activation of two types of receptors, Gpr54-1 and Gpr54-2, by the ligands, Kiss1 and Kiss2.

open access: yes, 2013
Medaka gpr54-1 (A, C) or gpr54-2 (B, D) cDNA was transfected to COS-7 cells with SRE-luc or CRE-luc vector. Various concentrations of medaka Kiss1 and Kiss2 were applied to the culture medium, and the luciferase activity was measured.

open access: yes, 2010
發身(puberty)是動物啟動生殖周期的發軔,並進入成熟生理的變化;不論雄性或雌性動物達發身年齡後,體內生殖內分泌開始運轉,此時下視丘會分泌促性腺激素釋放激素(Gonadotropin release hormone, GnRH),進而刺激腦垂腺之排卵素(LH)、濾泡激素(FSH)等激性腺素分泌,使性腺發育成熟。此為現今熟知能調控動物生殖生理機制的HPG軸(Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis) 。近年來發現,人類和小鼠下視丘上GPR54 (G protein ...

GPR54 activates ERK1/2 in a β-arrestin-dependent manner.

open access: yes, 2013
Representative autoradiograph (A) and densitometric analysis (B) showing the expression of total and activated ERK1/2 in GPR54 overexpressing β-Arr1/2 double KO (β-Arr1/2 KO) and corresponding wild type parental (WT2) MEFs following stimulation with 100 ...

Kisspeptin receptor,GPR54, as a candidate for theregulation of testicular activity in the frog, Rana esculenta.

open access: yes, 2013
Kisspeptins, acting via GPR54, are new players in the control of reproductive axis. They have the ability to communicate with GnRH neurons sending environmental, metabolic, and gonadal signals, with the induction of GnRH and LH secretion as final ...

Κλινική και μοριακή μελέτη παιδιών με διαταραχές ενήβωσης (Έλεγχος σχετικών γονιδιακών επιτόπων - γονίδιο GPR54) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Η έναρξη της εφηβείας είναι ένα σύνθετο φαινόμενο και οι μηχανισμοί που εμπλέκονται σε αυτήν παραμένουν εν πολλοίς άγνωστοι. Τα νευροπεπτίδια Kisspeptin και Neurokinin Β παίζουν κεντρικό ρόλο στην ενεργοποίηση των GnRH νευρώνων.
