Figure 8. Schematic diagram showing how kisspeptin activates GnRH neurons.

Figure 8

Kisspeptin binds to GPR54 and this results in the activation of PLC that in turn results in the release of calcium from stores following stimulation of IP3R. The released calcium then closes a calcium-sensitive potassium channel and/or opens a calcium-sensitive non-selective cation channel.
