Introduction The melanocortin system comprises a small family of peptide ligands derived from proopiomelanocortin (POMC)—including α-, β-, and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)—that engage five G-protein–coupled receptors...

Introduction Kisspeptins (KISS1‐derived peptides such as KP-10) and chorionic gonadotropins (e.g., hCG) participate at very different levels of the reproductive signaling hierarchy. In preclinical and in-vitro systems, kisspeptin engages the KISS1R (GPR54) receptor on...
