Kisspeptin activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA) and regulates the pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) through KNDy neurons, thereby regulating the initiation of the pubertal phase. This review focuses on the mechanism of GnRH regulation by Kisspeptin and the role of Kisspeptin in the hypothalamic, pituitary and ovarian, aiming to provide reference for clinical management of abnormal pubertal development.
