KISS1R KISS1 receptor

Gene ID: 84634, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HH8; CPPB1; GPR54; AXOR12; KISS-1R; HOT7T175

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a galanin-like G protein-coupled receptor that binds metastin, a peptide encoded by the metastasis suppressor gene KISS1. The tissue distribution of the expressed gene suggests that it is involved in the regulation of endocrine function, and this is supported by the finding that this gene appears to play a role in the onset of puberty. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and central precocious puberty. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
