Kiss1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables kisspeptin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of ovulation cycle rhythm; phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of cell communication. Located in apical plasma membrane; extracellular space; and neuronal cell body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 13 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human KISS1 (KiSS-1 metastasis suppressor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Kiss1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
