Kisspeptin-10

10-amino-acid reproductive-signaling peptide

Kisspeptin-10 is a decapeptide fragment of the kisspeptin protein and a ligand at the KISS1 (GPR54) receptor. In the scientific literature it is investigated in reproductive and endocrine-signaling research models. This page provides neutral background about the molecule as a research material and is not medical guidance and not for human or veterinary use.

Classification and structure

Classification and structure: Kisspeptin-10 comprises the C-terminal ten amino acids of the parent kisspeptin peptide and retains the receptor-binding region studied in endocrine research. It is investigated as an agonist at the KISS1R receptor, which is of interest in the literature on hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis signaling. Describing a compound as 'studied in' an area is a statement about where scientific attention has gone, not a claim that it produces any result.

Areas of research

Kisspeptin-10 appears across several areas of the research literature.

• Reproductive signaling — Investigated in models of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
• Endocrine research — Appears in the literature on KISS1R receptor signaling.
• Neuroendocrinology — Studied in models of hypothalamic peptide signaling.

As always in this library, describing a compound as “studied in” an area is a statement about where scientific attention has gone — not a claim that it produces any result in humans or animals.
