Kisspeptin 10 10mg
Kisspeptin-10 is a synthetic 10-amino-acid peptide that acts as a potent stimulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. By binding to the KISS1 receptor, it triggers the release of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH), which subsequently increases the production of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH).
Key Mechanisms and Effects
- Hormonal Pathway: Kisspeptin-10 is the minimal sequence of the kisspeptin protein required to fully activate the KISS1R receptor. This cascade ultimately stimulates the gonads to produce testosterone in men and regulates the menstrual cycle in women.
- Research Focus: It is heavily studied in endocrinology for its role in initiating puberty, regulating reproductive hormone secretion, and its potential in treating hypogonadism or fertility issues.
- Metastasis Suppression: Interestingly, kisspeptin was originally discovered as a metastasis suppressor gene. Research suggests that its signaling can inhibit the angiogenesis and spread of certain cancers like melanoma and breast cancer.
