Osteoprotegerin and its cognate ligand: a new paradigm of osteoclastogenesis.
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) has recently been identified as a new member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)receptor (TNF-R) superfamily (1–3). It is a glycoprotein with seven structural domains, including four TNF-R motifs at the N-terminus (domains 1–4), two death domain homologous regions (domains 5 and 6) which mediate cytotoxicity, and a C-terminus (domain 7) which contains a cysteine residue for...
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...

Photoperiod regulates the differential expression of KiSS-1 and GPR54 in various tissues and sexes of striped hamster.
In order to investigate how photoperiod affects the expression of KiSS-1/G-protein-coupled receptor 54 (GPR54), the hypothalamus, the ovaries and testicles of the striped hamster were studied following photoperiod treatment and melatonin injection. We found that the melatonin concentration in the blood of the striped hamster was consistent with the treated photoperiods and that the photoperiod ...
متن کاملKisspeptin and GPR54: discovery of a novel pathway in reproduction.
In order to find novel modulators of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, genetic tools were employed in patients with idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (IHH). Mutations in a G-protein coupled receptor, GPR54, were identified, making this receptor a genetic determinant and indisputable gatekeeper of normal reproductive function. This article places these investigations into...
