Overview

Kisspeptin-10 (KP-10) is the minimal C-terminal active fragment of the KISS1 gene product. It binds the G-protein-coupled receptor GPR54 (KISS1R) and stimulates GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus, driving downstream LH and FSH secretion.

Each vial is lyophilized from acetate buffer, sealed under nitrogen, and shipped cold-chain at −20 °C from our Kelowna facility.

Research applications

GPR54/KISS1R activation potency screens, GnRH-neuron Ca²⁺-mobilization assays, in-vitro hypothalamic explant studies, and reproductive-axis pharmacology.

Reconstitution

Allow vial to reach room temperature before opening (≥ 20 minutes). Reconstitute with 1.0–2.5 mL of sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol). Inject solvent slowly down the inner wall of the vial; do not direct stream onto the lyophilized cake.

Swirl gently for 30 seconds. Do not vortex. Allow to dissolve for 5 minutes; clarity should be complete with no visible particulates.

Storage after reconstitution

Reconstituted solution is stable for 28 days at 2–8 °C in original vial. For longer storage, aliquot into low-binding tubes and hold at −80 °C; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Discard if turbidity, color change, or particulate matter is observed.

Background research

What the literature says about Kisspeptin 10.

Mechanism

Kisspeptin 10 is a reproductive endocrine reference standard, classified within the GPR54 signaling pathway. Structurally it is a decapeptide KISS1 fragment. Kisspeptin-10 is the active 10-residue C-terminal fragment of the KISS1 gene product. de Roux et al. (2003) and Seminara et al. (2003) identified its role as the master regulator of GnRH secretion.

In an in-vitro setting, Kisspeptin 10 interacts with its target receptor(s) at low-nanomolar affinities under standard binding-assay conditions. Reconstitution should be performed in sterile bacteriostatic water at the working concentration your protocol specifies; the lyophilized vial is sealed under nitrogen and stable at −20 °C until reconstituted.

Common research applications

  • In-vitro receptor-binding and dose-response screens against the GPR54 signaling target panel.
  • Comparative pharmacology against related class members and previously published reference standards.
  • Time-course studies leveraging Kisspeptin 10's known stability profile.
  • Cross-batch HPLC fingerprint comparison against the lot-specific COA we publish for every release.

Storage & handling

Kisspeptin 10 arrives lyophilized at −20 °C in cold-chain insulated packaging. On receipt, transfer immediately to a −20 °C freezer. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8 °C and use within the window noted on the lot's COA. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
