Kisspeptin (KP-10) is the C-terminal decapeptide fragment of the KISS1 gene product. It is studied for its central role as the primary regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis12, stimulating pulsatile GnRH release from the hypothalamus4. Research models have explored its roles in fertility14, puberty onset1, and reproductive endocrinology23. Emerging studies investigate kisspeptins as potential therapeutic agents for infertility4, with research exploring applications in ovarian stimulation protocols and as cryoprotectants during vitrification4.
Mechanism of Action
Binds GPR54 (KISS1R) on GnRH neurones to stimulate pulsatile LH and FSH release, acting as the master regulator of the HPG axis.
