Estrogen Regulates KiSS1 Gene Expression through Estrogen Receptor α and SP Protein Complexes
27 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Kisspeptins are natural ligands of G protein-coupled receptor-54. Activation of KiSS1/G protein-coupled receptor-54 signaling pathways results in potent activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis and initiates puberty. Recent data have shown that in female mice, KiSS1 is positively regulated by estradiol (E(2)) in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus, an important reproductive neuroendocrine brain...
