Kisspeptin-10

Kisspeptin-10 (CAS 374675-21-5) is a synthetic decapeptide supplied for laboratory and analytical research use only. It is the shortest biologically active fragment of the kisspeptin family, derived from the C-terminal region of the KISS1 gene product.

Research background

Kisspeptin-10 is characterised in the literature as the endogenous ligand of the GPR54 (KISS1R) receptor. It is studied extensively as an upstream regulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons and, by extension, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Investigators typically examine it in the context of GPR54 receptor signalling, reproductive neuroendocrinology, puberty-onset models and tumour metastasis-suppression research, where the KISS1 gene was first identified.
