Background

GPR54 is a Metastin Receptor. Metastin, also known as KiSS-1, is a metastasis suppressor gene. Mutations in GPR54 have been shown to cause autosomal recessive idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in humans and mice, suggesting that GPR54 is a key regulator for the onset of puberty (Seminara et al. 2003). GPR54 has been reported in various human brain regions, placenta, pancreas, and spinal cord, and at lower levels in spleen, peripheral blood leukocytes, testis, lymph node, thymus, small intestine, stomach, lung, and kidney. The receptor is also abundant in tumor tissues. In rat, GPR54 is expressed in liver, intestine, and in the pons, midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, cortex (including frontal), and striatum. ESTs have been isolated from normal placenta and kidney cancer libraries.
