Hypothalamic kisspeptin and kisspeptin receptors: Species variation in reproduction and reproductive behaviours
{{output}}
Kisspeptin, encoded by the KISS1 gene, was first discovered as a potential metastasis suppressor gene. The prepro-kisspeptin precursor is cleaved into shorter mature bioactive peptides of varying sizes that bind to the G protein-coupled receptor GPR54 (=KISS1R... ...
