Bioactivity | KISS1-305, the Metastin/Kisspeptin analog, is a prototype peptide and a chemical probe. KISS1-305 has suboptimal KISS1R agonistic activity, and resists plasma protease degradation[1]. |
In Vivo | KISS1-305 (4 nmol/h; s.c.) shows suppression of pituitary-gonadal functions[1].KISS1-305 causes substantial elevations of plasma LH and testosterone, followed by abrupt reductions of both hormone levels. KISS1-305 also reduced genital organ weight more profoundly than leuprolide. In mechanistic studies, chronic KISS1-305 administration only transiently induced c-Fos expression in GnRH neurons, suggesting that GnRH-neural response was attenuated over time[1]. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Animal Model: |
