Neuropeptide
NPID NP02851
Name Kisspeptin-10
Organism Rattus norvegicus
NCBI Taxa ID 10116
Tissue Specificity Highest levels in the cecum and colon. Moderate levels present in the liver, spleen, kidney, ovary, uterus and small intestine. Low levels in the stomach, pancreas and placenta. Expressed only moderately in the placenta. Persistent expression is detected in hypothalamus throughout postnatal development, with maximum expression levels at puberty in both male and female. Hypothalamic expression is sensitive to neonatal imprinting by estrogen. Expression is higher in the hypothalamus than in the brainstem and spinal cord. In the brain, metastin-like immunoreactivity is found mainly in three groups of cells: dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, nucleus of the solitary tract, and caudal ventrolateral medulla.
