Morphological evidence for enhanced kisspeptin and neurokinin B signaling in the infundibular nucleus of the aging man. [PDF]

, 2012
Peptidergic neurons synthesizing kisspeptin (KP) and neurokinin B (NKB) in the hypothalamic infundibular nucleus have been implicated in negative sex steroid feedback to GnRH neurons. In laboratory rodents, testosterone decreases KP and NKB expression in

Co‐expression of the calcitonin receptor gene in the hypothalamic kisspeptin neurons in female rats

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2018
Purpose Hypothalamic kisspeptin neurons are considered to play a critical role in regulating mammalian reproduction and integrating humoral and neuronal inputs that control gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH)/gonadotropin release.

Kisspeptin receptor (version 2019.4) in the IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology Database [PDF]

, 2019
The kisspeptin receptor (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on the kisspeptin receptor [9]), like neuropeptide FF (NPFF), prolactin-releasing peptide (PrP) and QRFP receptors (provisional nomenclature) responds to endogenous peptides ...

The evolution and variety of RFamide-type neuropeptides: insights from deuterostomian invertebrates

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014
Five families of neuropeptides that have a C-terminal RFamide motif have been identified in vertebrates: 1. gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), 2. neuropeptide FF (NPFF) 3. pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP), 4. prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP)

Activation of Neuropeptide FF Receptors by Kisspeptin Receptor Ligands

, 2016
Kisspeptin is a member of the RFamide neuropeptide family that is implicated in gonadotropin secretion. Because kisspeptin-GPR54 signaling is implicated in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction, GPR54 ligands represent promising therapeutic ...

Deciphering Direct and Indirect Effects of Neurokinin B and GnRH in the Brain-Pituitary Axis of Tilapia

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Neurokinin B (NKB) and its cognate receptor (NK3R) are emerging as important components of the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction. Unlike mammalian tac3, which encodes only one mature peptide (namely NKB), two mature peptides are predicted for ...

Neurokinin B activates arcuate kisspeptin neurons through multiple tachykinin receptors in the male mouse

, 2013
Kisspeptin neurons located in the arcuate nucleus (ARN) coexpress dynorphin and neurokinin B (NKB) and may interact to influence gonadotropin secretion.

Kisspeptin Regulation of Neuronal Activity throughout the Central Nervous System [PDF]

, 2016
Kisspeptin signaling at the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuron is now relatively well characterized and established as being critical for the neural control of fertility.
