What Is Kisspeptin?
Kisspeptin-10 is the active fragment of the kisspeptin family, encoded by the KISS1 gene. Master regulator of reproductive hormone signaling.
Why It Matters
Directly activates GnRH neurons, triggering LH and FSH release. Without it, reproductive function ceases.
Applications
- GnRH neuron activation
- LH/FSH pulsatility restoration
- IVF research
- Puberty research
Used in multiple human clinical trials at Imperial College London.
