Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide encoded by the KISS1 gene that plays a central regulatory role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. It has been extensively studied in reproductive endocrinology research for its function in puberty onset, gonadotropin regulation, and fertility signaling.
Mechanism of Action
Kisspeptin binds to its receptor KISS1R (GPR54) on GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus, triggering a robust surge in GnRH, LH, and FSH secretion. Research indicates it serves as the primary gatekeeper of reproductive function, integrating metabolic signals, circadian rhythms, and steroid feedback to regulate reproductive axis activity.
Research Applications
- Reproductive endocrinology and fertility research
- Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis studies
