Product Overview
Kisspeptin-10 is a 10-amino acid peptide and the shortest bioactive fragment of the kisspeptin family, which is encoded by the KISS1 gene. It binds to the KISS1R receptor, also referred to as GPR54.
Within the reproductive hormone cascade, kisspeptin is positioned upstream of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. Laboratory studies examine Kisspeptin-10 in relation to GnRH release, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, and luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) signaling. It is a subject of study in reproductive endocrinology and neuroendocrine research.
