Function

Metastasis suppressor protein in malignant melanomas and in some breast cancers. May regulate events downstream of cell-matrix adhesion, perhaps involving cytoskeletal reorganization. Generates a C-terminally amidated peptide, metastin which functions as the endogenous ligand of the G-protein coupled receptor GPR54. Activation of the receptor inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration, key characteristics of tumor metastasis. Kp-10 is a decapeptide derived from the primary translation product, isolated in conditioned medium of first trimester trophoblast. Kp-10, but not other kisspeptins, increased intracellular Ca(2+) levels in isolated first trimester trophoblasts. Kp-10 is a paracrine/endocrine regulator in fine-tuning trophoblast invasion generated by the trophoblast itself. The receptor is also essential for normal gonadotropin-released hormone physiology and for puberty. The hypothalamic KiSS1/GPR54 system is a pivotal factor in central regulation of the gonadotropic axis at puberty and in adulthood.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Activity summary

Kisspeptin also known as metastin is a peptide with significant roles in reproductive physiology. Found within the hypothalamus and several peripheral tissues it comprises a sequence of 54 amino acids and has a molecular mass of around 12.8 kDa. Kisspeptin binds to the G protein-coupled receptor GPR54 facilitating its regulatory functions. Widely expressed throughout the brain particularly in the arcuate nucleus and anteroventral periventricular nucleus it acts on neurons to influence GnRH secretion critically.

Biological function summary

Kisspeptin regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis by promoting the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This stimulation enhances the synthesis and release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland key components in reproductive maturation and fertility. Kisspeptin integrates into the neuroendocrine control network interacting closely with neurotransmitters and signaling molecules to maintain reproductive homeostasis.

Pathways

Kisspeptin plays an instrumental role in the reproductive signaling cascade. It serves as a critical upstream regulator in the GnRH signaling pathway essential for the control of puberty onset and reproductive function. The kisspeptin-GPR54 axis interacts with related proteins like neurokinin B and dynorphin which modulate its effect on GnRH neurons. These interactions create an intricate regulatory network essential to reproductive hormone feedback loops.

Associated diseases and disorders

Altered kisspeptin signaling can contribute to conditions such as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Mutations or deficiencies in the kisspeptin receptor GPR54 have been linked to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism impacting sexual development and fertility. PCOS involves complex kisspeptin-related pathways alongside insulin signaling dysregulation illustrating its intersection with metabolic pathways and potential treatment targets. Kisspeptin modulation affects significant pathways related to reproductive health making it a target of interest for therapeutic intervention in these conditions.
