Involvement of the kisspeptin system in regulation of sexual behaviors in medaka

open access: yesiScience
Summary: In mammals, kisspeptin (Kiss1) neurons are generally considered as a sex steroid-dependent key regulator of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis.

Role of Kiss1 in serotonergic modulation in the zebrafish

open access: yes, 2015
KISS1/Kiss1 gene produces a neuropeptide, kisspeptin with the ability to activate its G-protein coupled receptor, GPR54 (Kiss-R), which is involved in the control of vertebrate reproduction.

Clinical and Biological Significance of KISS1 Expression in Prostate Cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
For men in the United States, prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequent malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer mortality. The metastatic spread of PCa is responsible for most deaths related to PCa.

KISS1 and Its G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPR54) in Cancer Progression and Metastasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Activation of G-protein coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) signaling generated by kisspeptins (endogenous GPR54 ligands encoded by KISS1 gene) has been known to regulate puberty and to suppress cancer metastasis. However, an endogenous GPR54 signaling in cancer

POMC neurons control fertility through differential signaling of MC4R in kisspeptin neurons

open access: yeseLife
Inactivating mutations in the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) gene cause monogenic obesity. Interestingly, female patients also display various degrees of reproductive disorders, in line with the subfertile phenotype of Mc4r KO female mice.

Expression Patterns of Leptin, Leptin Receptor, Kiss1, and HOTAIR Genes in Blood and Semen of Infertile Males with Oligospermia

open access: yesReports of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Infertility affects about 15% of couples during reproductive age and male factor infertility accounts for half of these cases. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of leptin, KISS1, leptin receptor, and HOTAIR genes in blood and semen samples of individuals diagnosed with oligospermia in comparison to healthy controls.In the current ...

Kiss1 Metastasis Suppressor Secretion Is Required For Metastasis Suppression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Failure to reduce the number of cancer deaths over the last 50 years is due to the inability to selectively target metastatic disease. Recently, the KISS1 metastasis suppressor has emerged as a promising molecular agent for the management of metastatic ...

Adipose Kiss1 controls aerobic exercise-related adaptive responses in adipose tissue energy homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes
Kisspeptin signaling regulates energy homeostasis. Adiposity is the principal source and receiver of peripheral Kisspeptin, and adipose Kiss1 metastasis suppressor (Kiss1) gene expression is stimulated by exercise. However, whether the adipose Kiss1 gene
