Kisspeptin/Gpr54-independent GnRH activity in Kiss1 and Gpr54 mutant mice
The kisspeptin/Gpr54 signaling pathway plays a critical role in reproduction by stimulating the secretion of GnRH, yet mice carrying mutations in Kiss1 (which encodes kisspeptin) or Gpr54 exhibit partial sexual maturation. For instance, a proportion of female Kiss1−/− and Gpr54−/− mice exhibit vaginal oestrus, and some male Kiss1−/− and Gpr54−/− mice exhibit spermatogenesis. To characterise thi...
متن کاملKisspeptin/KISS1R System in Breast Cancer
Kisspeptins (KP), peptide products of the kisspeptin-1 (KISS1) gene are the endogenous ligands for a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) - KP receptor (KISS1R). KISS1R couples to the Gαq/11 signaling pathway. KISS1 is a metastasis suppressor gene and the KP/KISS1R signaling has anti-metastatic and tumor-suppressant effects in numerous human cancers. On the other hand, recent studies indicate that...
متن کاملGPR54 and kisspeptin in reproduction.
Kisspeptins, the peptide products of the KiSS-1 gene, were identified in 2001 as natural ligands of the previously orphan G protein-coupled receptor, GPR54. They include, among others, metastin and kisspeptin-10. The known biological functions of kisspeptins were initially restricted to their ability to suppress tumour metastasis, hence the name of metastin. However, in late 2003, two groups in...
متن کاملChanges in Methylation Patterns of Kiss1 and Kiss1r Gene Promoters Across Puberty
The initiation of mammalian puberty is underpinned by an increase in Kisspeptin (Kiss1) signaling via its receptor (Kiss1r/GPR54) on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons. Animals and humans with loss-of-function mutations in Kiss1 or Kiss1r fail to go through puberty. The timing of puberty is dependent on environmental factors, and malleability in puberty timing suggests a mechanism th...
متن کاملStructure, synthesis, and phylogeny of kisspeptin and its receptor.
The kisspeptin system is considered to be essential for successful mammalian reproduction. In addition to the Kiss1 peptide, Kiss2, the product of kiss2 (the kiss1 paralogue), has also been shown to activate kisspeptin receptor signaling pathways in nonmammalian species. Furthermore, in nonmammalian species, there are two subtypes of receptors, Gpr54-1 (known as GPR54 or Kiss1R in mammals) and ...
