Kisspeptin-10 is a synthetic decapeptide fragment of the naturally occurring kisspeptin protein, which plays a central role in reproductive hormone regulation. Research suggests it acts by stimulating the hypothalamic release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), leading to downstream secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
Studies indicate potential applications in fertility research, puberty regulation, and reproductive endocrinology. Kisspeptin-10 has also been investigated for its influence on sexual behavior, ovulation, and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis signaling, making it a valuable candidate in studies exploring reproductive health and hormonal regulation.
