It has been well documented that Notch signaling regulates cell proliferation, migration, and death in the nervous, cardiac, and endocrine systems. The Notch pathway is relatively simple, but its activity is regulated by numerous complex mechanisms. Ligands bind to Notch receptors, inducing their activation and cleavage. Various post-translational processes regulate Notch signaling by affecting the synthesis, secretion, activation, and degradation of Notch pathway-related proteins. Through such post-translational regulatory processes, Notch signaling has versatile effects in many tissues, including the hypothalamus. Recently, several studies have reported that mutations in genes related to the Notch signaling pathway were found in patients with central precocious puberty (CPP). CPP is characterized by the early activation of the hypothalamus\u2013pituitary\u2013gonadal (HPG) axis. Although genetic factors play an important role in CPP development, few associated genetic variants have been identified. Aberrant Notch signaling may be associated with abnormal pubertal development. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge about the role of the Notch signaling pathway in puberty and consider the potential mechanisms underlying CPP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms23063332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,20]],"date-time":"2022-03-20T21:30:14Z","timestamp":1647811814000},"page":"3332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Aberrant Notch Signaling Pathway as a Potential Mechanism of Central Precocious Puberty"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Young Suk","family":"Shim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon 164999, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9684-4042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hae Sang","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon 164999, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin Soon","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon 164999, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"491","DOI":"10.1097\/GRF.0000000000000537","article-title":"Pubertal Development: What\u2019s Normal\/What\u2019s Not","volume":"63","author":"Smith","year":"2020","journal-title":"Clin.
