Kisspeptin-10
Neuropeptide studied as a key upstream regulator of the reproductive hormone axis via GnRH stimulation.
Research Areas
Scientific Background
Kisspeptin-10 is the shorter active fragment of kisspeptin, a neuropeptide encoded by the KISS1 gene. It acts on the KISS1R (GPR54) receptor to stimulate GnRH release from the hypothalamus, positioning it as a master upstream regulator of the reproductive hormone axis.
Purity & Provenance
