Hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic expression of kisspeptins and kisspeptin receptor in the brain. Anatomical distribution of kisspeptin (KP) mRNA (green dots) and KP receptor (KPR) mRNA (brown dots) in different brain areas of rodents. KP mRNA expression is mostly detected in the hypothalamus (ARC, AVPV, and PeN). Presence of KP mRNAs has also been reported in the amygdala (AMY) and bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BST). KPR mRNA has been detected in different forebrain areas, including the diagonal band of Broca (DBB), and septum (S).
