Kisspeptin-10 is a short peptide derived from the KISS1 gene, known for its critical role in regulating the reproductive endocrine system. It stimulates the hypothalamus to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which in turn promotes the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Kisspeptin-10 is widely used in research on fertility, reproductive health, and hormonal regulation. How It Works?
Kisspeptin-10 activates KISS1 receptors in the hypothalamus:
Stimulates GnRH neurons → triggers pulsatile release of gonadotropins
Increases LH and FSH secretion → supports reproductive organ function
Regulates reproductive hormone balance → assists fertility and endocrine research
Supports puberty and ovulation studies → useful in reproductive biology research
