Kisspeptin Product Description
Kisspeptins are a family of neuropeptides encoded by the KISS1 gene. The KISS1 gene produces a precursor protein, which is then cleaved into various active fragments, including kisspeptin-54, -14, -13, and -10.
Kisspeptin-10 (KP-10) is the shortest of these fragments, but it retains full bioactivity, meaning it can still bind to and activate its receptor. All kisspeptin peptides, including KP-10, share a common C-terminal decapeptide sequence (arginine-amidated phenylalanine, RFAmide), which is essential for their biological activity.
KP-10 is a versatile peptide with applications spanning cancer diagnostics, reproductive regulation, neuroprotection, cardiovascular regulation, and behavioral neuroscience. Its mechanisms involve both receptor-dependent and independent pathways, supporting its potential as a research and diagnostic tool across multiple fields.
