Abstract

Kisspeptyn (KiSS) and its constitutive receptor GPR-54 play a key role in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG), affecting, for example, activation gonadotropin axis in adolescent humans. Mutations in the gene KiSS-1 and GPR-54 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of CPP (early puberty) and the IHH (idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism). The role of variation in gene sequences KiSS1/GPR54 in other mammals is not well known, and the relationships of polymorphisms with parameters of reproductive performance of livestock are divergent and require further studies.
