KiSS-1 receptor Antibodies

Genomic Context

Tissue Specificity

Highest expression levels in the cerebrum and cecum. Moderate expression in the ovary, colon and placenta. Low levels in the uterus, small intestine, and thymus. Expressed only moderately in the placenta. No expression in kidney tissues. Has a complex and abundant central nervous system expression pattern. Expressed in brain regions such as pons, midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, cortex, frontal cortex, and striatum. No expression in the cerebellum. Persistent expression is detected in hypothalamus throughout postnatal development, with maximum expression levels at puberty in both male and female. Hypothalamic expression changed throughout the estrus cycle and is significantly increased after gonadectomy, a rise that is prevented by sex steroid replacement both in males and females.
