Metastasis suppressor gene KiSS-1 encodes peptide ligand of a G-protein-coupled receptor.

TL;DR: It is shown that KiSS-1 encodes a carboxy-terminally amidated peptide with 54 amino-acid residues, which is isolated from human placenta as the endogenous ligand of an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (hOT7T175) and named ‘metastin’.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metastin suppresses the motility and growth of CHO cells transfected with its receptor.

TL;DR: The results indicate that metastin is a potent inhibitor of cell motility, leading to suppression of cell growth and antimetastatic activity, and suggest that low molecular chemical compounds could replace its activity as a novel antimetastsatic agent.
