Kisspeptins Modulate the Biology of Multiple Populations of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons during Embryogenesis and Adulthood in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
5 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Kisspeptin1 (product of the Kiss1 gene) is the key neuropeptide that gates puberty and maintains fertility by regulating the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuronal system in mammals. Inactivating mutations in Kiss1 and the kisspeptin receptor (GPR54/Kiss1r) are associated with pubertal failure and infertility. Kiss2, a paralogous gene for kiss1, has been recently identified in several vertebrates...
