KissPeptin-10

Kisspeptin-10 is a synthetic decapeptide derived from the endogenous peptide hormone Kisspeptin-54, which is encoded by the KISS1 gene. Supplied as a lyophilized powder with a verified purity of ≥99% by HPLC, it is manufactured under strict laboratory-grade conditions and intended for use as a biochemical reference compound in endocrinological and reproductive research.

Research background

Kisspeptin-10 has been extensively studied in the context of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis regulation. As a ten-amino-acid fragment of Kisspeptin-54, it has been investigated as a targeted tool for examining gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) signalling and downstream hormonal feedback mechanisms. The compound has been referenced in the literature exploring reproductive endocrinology, fertility pathway modelling, and short-chain kisspeptin biology. Its well-defined molecular structure — molecular formula C₆₅H₈₁N₁₇O₂₀, molecular weight approximately 1,302.44 Da — makes it a precise and reproducible reagent for in vitro biochemical studies.

Reconstitution & handling

Kisspeptin-10 is supplied as a lyophilized powder and should be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water) prior to use. Add an appropriate volume of BAC water directly to the vial, then gently swirl — do not shake — until the powder is fully dissolved. Avoid vigorous agitation, which may degrade peptide integrity. Handle reconstituted solution with care and use aseptic technique throughout.

Storage & stability

The lyophilized product should be stored refrigerated and protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, the solution should be kept refrigerated and used within a short period to maintain compound integrity. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the reconstituted solution should be avoided.
