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 …

Kisspeptin, a novel neuropeptide product of the Kiss1 gene, activates the G protein-coupled
membrane receptor G protein-coupled receptor 54 (now termed Kiss1r). Over the last 15 …

The kiss1/gpr54 signaling system is considered to be a critical regulator of reproduction in
most vertebrates. However, this presumption has not been tested vigorously in …

We have sequenced the genome of the endangered European eel using the MinION by
Oxford Nanopore, and assembled these data using a novel algorithm specifically designed …

In humans, as in the other mammals, the neuroendocrine control of reproduction is ensured
by the brain-pituitary gonadotropic axis. Multiple internal and environmental cues are …

This study, conducted in the brain of a perciform fish, the European sea bass, aimed at
raising antibodies against the precursor of the kisspeptins in order to map the kiss systems …

This review highlights the recent developments regarding neuroendocrine mechanisms
controlling teleost reproduction. In teleosts, the pituitary gland receives major neuronal …

It is well established that Kisspeptin regulates the onset of puberty in vertebrates through
stimulation of the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormones. However, the function of …

During the past decade, the kisspeptin system has been identified in various vertebrates,
leading to the discovery of multiple genes encoding both peptides (Kiss) and receptors …

Hypothalamic kisspeptin encoded by KISS1/Kiss1 gene emerged as a regulator of the
reproductive axis in mammals following the discovery of the kisspeptin receptor (Kissr) and …
