Kiss1r Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables G protein-coupled peptide receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell migration; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and signal transduction. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and thymus. Used to study hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 8 with or without anosmia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in central precocious puberty 1; hypogonadism; and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 8 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human KISS1R (KISS1 receptor).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Kiss1r often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
