However, the function of kisspeptin in peripheral tissues and in other functions is still poorly understood. Recently, the evolution and distribution of kisspeptin genes in vertebrates has been clarified. In contrast to placental mammals, which have a single gene for the ligand (Kiss) and for the receptor (Kissr), fish may have up to three Kiss genes and up to four Kissr genes because of genome duplications. However, information on the genomic structure of the piscine kiss and kissr genes is still scarce. Furthermore, when data from several species is taken together, interspecific differences in the expression of kiss and kissr during the reproductive cycle are found. Here, we discuss data gathered from several fish species, but mainly from two flatfishes, the Senegalese sole and the Atlantic halibut, to address general questions on kiss gene structure, regulation and function. Flatfish are among the most derived fish species and the two species referred to above have only one ligand and one receptor, probably because of the genome reduction observed in Pleuronectiformes. However, gene analysis shows that both species have an alternative splicing mechanism based on intron retention, but the functions of the alternative isoforms are unclear. In the Senegalese sole, sex-related differences in the temporal and spatial expression of kiss and kissr were observed during a whole reproductive cycle. In addition, recent studies suggested that kisspeptin system gene expression is correlated to energy balance and reproduction. This suggests that kisspeptin signaling may involve different sources of information to synchronize important biological functions in vertebrates, including reproduction.
