Diversity and evolution of kisspeptin genes that play key roles in the regulation of reproduction
We have recently reported on our new finding of a gene (kiss1 ) encoding a peptide (kisspeptin) which plays a key role in the regulation of reproduction. Here, we found another gene homologous (paralogous) to kiss1 , called kiss2 , and analyzed its dynamic gene expressions for the first time in vertebrates. more »
