Kisspeptin-10

Kisspeptin-10 is a 10-amino acid peptide derived from the KISS1 gene product, originally identified as a metastasis suppressor. It acts as a ligand for GPR54 (KISS1R) receptors, playing a crucial role in reproductive function via GnRH stimulation. Research indicates applications in reproduction, hormonal development, emotional modulation, food intake, and neuroprotection.
