Comparative insights of the kisspeptin/kisspeptin receptor system: Lessons from non-mammalian vertebrates

Highlights ► Kisspeptins, products of Kiss1 , are important regulators of reproduction in mammals. ► Kiss and gpr54 have been recently studied in non-mammals (fish, reptiles and amphibians). ► Kiss and gpr54 in non-mammals display higher molecular diversity than in mammals. ► Kiss-derived peptides a...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Kisspeptins, products of Kiss1 , are important regulators of reproduction in mammals. ► Kiss and gpr54 have been recently studied in non-mammals (fish, reptiles and amphibians). ► Kiss and gpr54 in non-mammals display higher molecular diversity than in mammals. ► Kiss-derived peptides are involved in the control of gonadotropin secretion in fish. ► Comparative endocrinology will help to understand evolution and functions of kisspeptins.
