The livestock species economically enhance the quality of life of farmers and industries and reproduction is the only way to progress in the next generation. Kisspeptin (Kp) is a neuropeptide that acts on the reproductive system and is associated with reproductive disorders in mammalians. The different forms of Kp are present but only kp-14 are more prominent to use due to their short length. The Kp is act with the orphan G-protein coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) ligands and activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG) to release GnRH and reproductive hormones. Even the Kp is a reproductive neuropeptide, it's limited to a few species to conduct the research and needs to perform more research on various species. The Kp may act powerful supplement in animal reproductive techniques and this review focuses on the livestock and pet animal reproductive system regulated by Kp.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
