Description
Kisspeptin-10 5mg – Full Product Description
Kisspeptin-10 is a synthetic peptide consisting of the first 10 amino acids of the naturally occurring kisspeptin protein. Known for its powerful role in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, Kisspeptin-10 is widely researched for its ability to stimulate the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), making it a critical component in studies related to reproductive health, fertility, and hormonal balance.
Key Features:
-
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC tested)
-
Quantity: 5mg lyophilized powder per vial
-
Form: Freeze-dried peptide for research use
-
Storage: Store at -20°C; reconstituted peptide should be refrigerated at 2–8°C and used within 30 days
Mechanism of Action:
Kisspeptin-10 acts on the GPR54 receptor, located in the hypothalamus, to stimulate the secretion of GnRH. This in turn triggers a cascade involving luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), both of which are vital for reproductive function. Kisspeptin-10 has also been implicated in regulating puberty onset, reproductive aging, and even certain aspects of behavior and metabolism.
Potential Research Applications:
-
Investigating causes and treatment of infertility
-
Studying onset and progression of puberty
-
Exploring hormonal disorders including hypogonadism
-
Assessing roles in metabolic and mood-related pathways
-
Evaluating neuroendocrine signaling and feedback loops
Benefits Observed in Research Models:
-
Enhanced GnRH pulsatility
-
Restoration of LH and FSH levels in suppressed models
-
Improved reproductive hormone profiles
-
Potential modulation of testosterone and estrogen levels
Reconstitution and Use:
To reconstitute, add bacteriostatic water or sterile saline to achieve the desired concentration. Mix gently without shaking to ensure the peptide dissolves fully. This product is intended for research purposes only and is not for human or veterinary use.
