Biological Activity
Potent endogenous ligand for the Kisspeptin receptor (KISS1, GPR54). Binds with high affinity to rat and human KISS1 receptors with Ki values of 1.59 and 2.33 nM respectively. Inhibits metastasis and invasion in mouse melanomas and stimulates gonadotropin secretion following i.c.v. administration.
