01Product details
Overview
Kisspeptin is a peptide product of the KISS1 gene, with multiple biologically active fragments (Kisspeptin-54, -14, -13, and -10) sharing a common C-terminal RF-amide sequence. It is the principal upstream activator of GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus.
Research Background
Kisspeptin is central to research on reproductive neuroendocrinology, puberty onset, and HPG (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal) axis regulation. It has been studied in models of fertility, hypogonadism, and metabolic-reproductive crosstalk.
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within recommended timeframes. Handle under sterile laboratory conditions and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Disclaimer:
This product is for laboratory research use only. It is not intended for human or animal consumption or for use in any diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
02Mechanism of action
Kisspeptin binds the GPCR KISS1R (GPR54), expressed predominantly on GnRH-secreting neurons. Receptor activation drives Gq-coupled phospholipase C signaling, increasing intracellular calcium and triggering pulsatile GnRH release into the hypophyseal portal system, which in turn stimulates LH and FSH secretion from the anterior pituitary.
03Research applications
Kisspeptin is studied in research on puberty, fertility, reproductive endocrinology, and metabolic regulation of reproduction. It is a foundational reference peptide for investigators examining upstream control of the GnRH pulse generator.
