Kisspeptin is a protein in humans that has an important role in initiating secretion of the releasing factor gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh). endocrinologists are finding that the protein kisspeptin and its receptor are central to sexual maturation at puberty. neurons that release kisspeptin carry estrogen receptors. if this is a negative feedback system, high levels of estrogen would be expected to: decrease kisspeptin synthesis. increase kisspeptin synthesis. neither increase nor decrease kisspeptin synthesis because steroid hormones do not affect protein synthesis.
