What Is Kisspeptin-10?
Kisspeptin-10 (KP-10) is the C-terminal ten-amino-acid fragment of kisspeptin, the peptide product of the KISS1 gene. It is the shortest kisspeptin fragment that retains full activity at the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R, also known as GPR54), which makes it the standard tool compound for studying the receptor in cell and tissue systems. Our Kisspeptin-10 10mg vial contains the amidated sequence YNWNSFGLRF-NH2, with a molecular weight of approximately 1,302.4 Da.
The kisspeptin/KISS1R system sits upstream of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, which is why the peptide is so widely used in reproductive neuroendocrinology research. The lyophilised format keeps the peptide stable in storage and lets researchers reconstitute to the exact concentration their protocol requires.
Kisspeptin-10 Research Areas
Laboratory studies of Kisspeptin-10 span several areas of the published literature:
Reproductive Neuroendocrinology
Kisspeptin-10 is used to study how KISS1R activation drives GnRH release and downstream luteinising hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone signalling in hypothalamic and pituitary models. Published work can be explored on PubMed.
KISS1R Receptor Pharmacology
Because KP-10 is a full agonist, it is a reference ligand in receptor-binding, calcium-mobilisation and receptor-desensitisation assays in KISS1R-expressing cell lines.
Puberty and Fertility Models
Preclinical research uses kisspeptin fragments to investigate the timing of puberty onset, seasonal breeding and hypothalamic regulation of the reproductive axis.
Metabolic and Behavioural Signalling
More recent work examines kisspeptin signalling outside the reproductive axis, including in metabolic tissues and limbic brain regions.
Kisspeptin-10 vs Kisspeptin-54
Kisspeptin-54 is the full-length mature peptide; Kisspeptin-10 is its active C-terminal fragment. Both activate KISS1R, but KP-10 is smaller, easier to synthesise at high purity and better characterised in vitro, so most receptor-level studies use the decapeptide. Kisspeptin-54 is more often chosen when researchers need the longer circulating half-life of the full-length form.
