Kisspeptin
Overview
Kisspeptin is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that serves as a master regulator of the reproductive axis. It acts through the G-protein-coupled receptor GPR54 (KISS1R) to stimulate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, governing the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Kisspeptin signaling is essential for pubertal onset, fertility, and reproductive hormone homeostasis.
Key Features
- Master regulator of the HPG reproductive axis
