Abstract excerpt
The KISSPEPTIN-1 receptor (KISS1R) and its ligands (KISSPEPTINS) are implicated in the regulation of the onset of puberty. We report the coding region and genomic structure of the kiss1r gene of a modern teleost, the Senegalese sole (Ss). Ss kiss1r cDNA contained an opening frame of 1137 bp, which results in a predicted 378 amino acid protein. Searching genomic databases allowed the identification of kiss1r...
