Background
Kisspeptin 234 is a kisspeptin receptor antagonist, with the ability to antagonize kisspeptin-10-induced activation of gpr-54. Kisspeptin binds to its cognate receptor (i.e. gpr-54) on neurons that produce gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), and stimulates their activity, which in turn sends an obligatory signal for GnRH secretion, thereby gating down-stream events supporting reproduction. The development of kisspeptin receptor antagonists may provide a valuable tool for exploring the physiological and pathophysiological roles of kisspeptin in the regulation of reproduction, and could serve as a potential therapeutic agent for treating hormone-dependent disorders of reproduction, such as precocious puberty, endometriosis, as well as metastatic prostate cancer.
