Recent genetic evidence in humans and from mouse knockouts has linked kisspeptin-driven GPR54 signaling to the regulation of GnRH release from the hypothalamus. These molecules appear to represent a previously unsuspected control point for GnRH secretion, with important implications for the biology and pathology of the sex steroid axis.
近期来自人类和小鼠基因敲除实验的遗传学证据表明, kisspeptin驱动的GPR54信号传导与下丘脑促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)的释放调节有关。这些分子似乎代表了一个此前未被怀疑的GnRH分泌控制点,对性类固醇轴的生物学和病理学具有重要意义。
