    protein that triggers hormone release for puberty and fertility

    Kisspeptin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the reproductive system by triggering the release of hormones necessary for puberty and fertility. It acts on the hypothalamus in the brain to stimulate the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which in turn influences the production of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone.
