Kisspeptin Antagonists

2013
Kisspeptin is now known to be an important regulator of the hypothalamic--pituitary-gonadal axis and is the target of a range of regulators, such as steroid hormone feedback, nutritional and metabolic regulation. Kisspeptin binds to its cognate receptor, KISS1R (also called GPR54), on GnRH neurons and stimulates their activity, which in turn provides ...

Kisspeptin in Reproduction

Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2007
Although the functions of kisspeptin originally were believed to be restricted to metastasis suppression, a novel role for this protein was discovered in 2003. Loss-of-function mutations in its receptor, GPR54, were found to cause absence of puberty and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in humans.

Immunocytochemical localization of kisspeptin and kisspeptin receptor in the primate testis

Journal of Medical Primatology, 2016
AbstractBackgroundHypothalamic kisspeptin–kisspeptin receptor signalling in primates ensures the successful progression into puberty during development and maintenance of reproductive capacity during adulthood. Human testis has been shown to express high‐to‐moderate levels of kisspeptin and kisspeptin receptor gene expression.

GPR54 and Kisspeptins

2008
The G-protein coupled receptor GPR54 has an essential role in the initiation and maintenance of mammalian fertility. Humans and mice with mutations in GPR54 have hypogonadotropic hypogonadism characterized by absence of sexual maturation and low levels of gonadotropic hormones (LH and FSH).

Electrophysiology of Kisspeptin Neurons [PDF]

open access: possible, 2013
Kisspeptin is an important regulator of reproduction. Electrophysiological studies show that kisspeptin neurons of the arcuate nucleus that co-localize neurokinin B and dynorphin (aka KNDy neurons) fire action potentials in a tonic, irregular, or burst firing manner. Gonadectomy dramatically alters the membrane properties of KNDY neurons from male mice

Kisspeptins, Estrogens and Male Fertility

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2016
The control of male fertility requires accurate endocrine, paracrine and autocrine communications along the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis. In this respect, the possible interplay between upcoming/classical modulators of reproductive functions deserves attention in that may be a successful tool for the future exploitation of new potential ...

Metabolic Regulation of Kisspeptin

2013
Body energy balance and metabolic signals are important modulators of puberty and reproductive function, so that perturbations of metabolism and energy reserves (ranging from persistent energy insufficiency to morbid obesity) are frequently linked to reproductive disorders.
