Background InformationMetastasis-suppressor KiSS-1 (KiSS-1; or Kisspeptin-1) is one of several endogenous ligands for the orphan G-protein coupled receptor GPR54. KiSS-1 functions as a suppressor of metastasis in various types of cancers, by inhibiting migration and proliferation in affected cells. This effect may be produced by the activation of multiple signaling pathways: Ligand-bound GPR54 activates IP3 and PKC signaling via a PLC pathway; and ERK 1 and ERK 2 by a cPLA2, which may lead to increased calcium signaling and gene transcription, respectively. More recently, however, KiSS-1/GPR54 signaling has been implicated in puberty and development. KiSS-1/GPR54 may regulate signaling of GnRH neurons during puberty and may influence the release of FH and LSH hormones. KISS-1 is highly expressed in the CNS, testis, pancreas, intestine, ovary, and placenta.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene is a metastasis suppressor gene that suppresses metastases of melanomas and breast carcinomas without affecting tumorigenicity. The encoded protein may function to inhibit chemotaxis and invasion, attenuating metastasis in malignant melanomas. Studies suggest a putative role in the regulation of events downstream of cell-matrix adhesion, perhaps involving cytoskeletal reorganization. A polymorphism in the terminal exon of this mRNA results in two protein isoforms. An adenosine present at the polymorphic site represents the third position in a stop codon. When the adenosine is absent, a downstream stop codon is utilized and the encoded protein extends for an additional seven amino acid residues. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Metastasis suppressor protein in malignant melanomas and in some breast cancers. May regulate events downstream of cell-matrix adhesion, perhaps involving cytoskeletal reorganization. Generates a C-terminally amidated peptide, metastin which functions as the endogenous ligand of the G-protein coupled receptor GPR54. Activation of the receptor inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration, key characteristics of tumor metastasis. Kp-10 is a decapeptide derived from the primary translation product, isolated in conditioned medium of first trimester trophoblast. Kp-10, but not other kisspeptins, increased intracellular Ca2+ levels in isolated first trimester trophoblasts. Kp-10 is a paracrine/endocrine regulator in fine-tuning trophoblast invasion generated by the trophoblast itself. The receptor is also essential for normal gonadotropin-released hormone physiology and for puberty. The hypothalamic KiSS1/GPR54 system is a pivotal factor in central regulation of the gonadotropic axis at puberty and in adulthood.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Very high expression in placenta, with the next highest level in testis and moderate levels in pancreas, liver, small intestine and brain at much lower levels. Expression levels increased in both early placentas and molar pregnancies and are reduced in choriocarcinoma cells. Expressed at higher levels in first trimester trophoblasts than at term of gestation, but only expressed in the villous trophoblast.

INDUCTION: Down-regulated during the progression of melanoma in vivo. Diminishes MMP9 expression by effecting reduced NF-kappa-B binding to the promoter.

PTM: Processed by MMP2 and MMP9.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the KISS1 family.

SEQUENCE CAUTION: The sequence AAC79512.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 138.
