Kisspeptin 5mg

Research Overview

Kisspeptin, the product of the KISS1 gene, signals through the G protein-coupled receptor KISS1R (formerly GPR54) on hypothalamic GnRH neurons. Its discovery reshaped reproductive neuroendocrinology: loss-of-function mutations in KISS1R were found to cause failure of pubertal onset, establishing kisspeptin signaling as an obligatory upstream gate on the entire hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Rather than acting at the pituitary as GnRH does, kisspeptin acts one level higher, on the neurons that release GnRH itself, and it is understood to relay metabolic and steroid feedback signals into reproductive control. This upstream position is exactly what makes it scientifically valuable — it allows investigation of reproductive regulation at the hypothalamic rather than pituitary level. Laboratory applications include hypothalamic neuronal culture, KISS1R binding assays, GnRH pulse generator studies, and reproductive axis research.

Why Researchers Choose This Product

Kisspeptin allows laboratories to interrogate the reproductive axis one level above GnRH, at the hypothalamic gate itself. Because KISS1R loss-of-function abolishes puberty, the pathway is non-redundant, giving experiments unusually clear interpretive weight.

Storage

Store lyophilized vials refrigerated at 2–8°C. Protect from heat and light. Reconstituted material should be kept refrigerated and handled under aseptic laboratory conditions. For laboratory research use only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kisspeptin 5mg studied for?

Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide acting upstream of GnRH as a principal gatekeeper of the reproductive axis. It is studied in neuroendocrinology research examining KISS1R signaling, pubertal onset, and hypothalamic control of reproduction. Because loss-of-function mutations in its receptor abolish pubertal onset, the pathway is non-redundant, giving experiments conducted with it unusually clear interpretive weight.

What research applications does Kisspeptin 5mg support?

Reported laboratory applications span reproductive neuroendocrinology, kiss1r receptor signaling, hypothalamic circuit research, gnrh pulse generator studies, pubertal onset research, and hpg axis research. Kisspeptin allows laboratories to interrogate the reproductive axis one level above GnRH, at the hypothalamic gate itself. Because KISS1R loss-of-function abolishes puberty, the pathway is non-redundant, giving experiments unusually clear interpretive weight.

What format, strength, and minimum order apply?

Kisspeptin 5mg is supplied as lyophilized vial at 5 mg. The minimum order quantity is 10 units per SKU, and it is available to wholesale buyers only — laboratories, research organizations, distributors, and qualified commercial accounts.
