**8. Conclusion**

Kisspeptins have a multitude of regulatory neuroendocrine functions that span the sexual life cycle. Though its mechanisms are not entirely characterized, there is strong evidence supporting its involvement in puberty and development, ovulation, implantation, and pregnancy. Because of their role in these reproductive processes, kisspeptins have potential to be useful as biomarkers in a variety of contexts, such as ovulation prediction and diagnosis of viable IUP. Kisspeptins may also be useful in the advancement of assisted reproductive technology. Continued exploration of kisspeptin function will help to develop and standardize practices that harness its diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
