Kisspeptin

Product Overview

KS10 is a catalog identifier typically used by peptide suppliers to refer to a 10 mg vial of Kisspeptin-10, a short synthetic fragment of the naturally occurring peptide kisspeptin.

Kisspeptin is an essential component of reproductive-axis regulation and is widely studied for its involvement in:

• hypothalamic GnRH signaling

• endocrine hormone release

• reproductive physiology

• neuroendocrine research models

KS10 is provided as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) research peptide designed for controlled laboratory studies.

 Scientific Background

Kisspeptins are a family of peptides encoded by the KISS1 gene, known for activating the GPR54 (Kiss1R) receptor. This receptor plays a critical role in:

• initiation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis

• pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)

• downstream modulation of LH and FSH signaling

• reproductive development and hormone balance

Kisspeptin-10 is the most commonly used short fragment, containing the essential active sequence required for Kiss1R binding. KS10 allows researchers to investigate reproductive-axis dynamics, neuroendocrinology, and metabolic-hormonal interactions.
