Kisspeptin-10
Kisspeptin-10 is a potent, synthetic decapeptide derived from the larger Kisspeptin-145 protein (encoded by the KISS1 gene). It is the primary truncated form of the peptide used in endocrine research, acting as the fundamental "master switch" for the initiation of the reproductive cascade in mammals.
Research Applications
Kisspeptin-10 is a potent agonist of the GPR54 (KISS1R) receptor in the hypothalamus, primarily used to stimulate GnRH secretion, which promotes LH and FSH release from the pituitary. It is studied for restoring testosterone production, regulating the HPTA, treating hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and its potential roles in metabolic regulation, mood modulation, and inhibiting cancer cell metastasis, especially in melanoma and breast cancer.
