NCIt definition : Metastin (54 aa, 6 kDa) is encoded by the human KISS1 gene. This protein plays a
role in the negative regulation of both chemotaxis and metastasis.;
NCIt note : Metastin is a C-terminally truncated and amidated peptide derived from metastasis-suppressor
KiSS-1.; Metastin is a ligand for KiSS-1 receptor (GPR54).;
