Kisspeptin 10 – 5mg (5mL Vial)
$110.00
Kisspeptin-10 is a naturally occurring decapeptide, representing the biologically active fragment of the larger kisspeptin protein (also known as metastin). This potent neuropeptide plays a pivotal and indispensable role in the intricate regulation of the mammalian reproductive axis. Synthesized primarily in specific neuronal populations within the hypothalamus, Kisspeptin-10 acts as the master regulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion.
Description
Quick Facts
Kisspeptin-10 is a high-purity, synthetic decapeptide derived from the kisspeptin protein, designed exclusively for advanced research in reproductive biology. Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a 5mg (5mL) vial, this potent neuropeptide is a critical tool for studying the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which governs reproductive hormone regulation. With a molecular formula of C63H83N17O14 and a molecular weight of approximately 1302.45 g/mol, Kisspeptin-10 offers exceptional stability and solubility for laboratory applications.
Key Features
- High Purity: Over 98% pure, ensuring reliable and reproducible research outcomes.
- Lyophilized Form: Freeze-dried to maintain stability and potency during storage and transport.
- Research-Grade: Intended strictly for in-vitro laboratory research, not for human or veterinary use.
- Solubility: Soluble in water or 1% acetic acid, facilitating easy reconstitution for experiments.
Role in Reproductive Research
Kisspeptin-10 is a pivotal regulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which triggers the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). By activating the KISS1 receptor (GPR54), it initiates reproductive hormone cascades essential for puberty, fertility, and hormonal balance. Researchers utilize Kisspeptin-10 to explore its role in fertility pathways, reproductive aging, and disorders like hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Its ability to stimulate GnRH neurons makes it invaluable for studying neuroendocrine control and hormone feedback loops.
Storage and Handling
To ensure optimal stability, store Kisspeptin-10 at -20°C in a cool, dry, and dark environment. Minimize exposure to light and oxygen to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain peptide activity. The product arrives as a white to off-white lyophilized powder and requires reconstitution with bacteriostatic water (sold separately) using sterile syringes for precise extraction. Always handle in a controlled laboratory environment by qualified personnel.
Safety and Usage Guidelines
Kisspeptin-10 is strictly for research purposes and not approved for human consumption. The long-term effects of peptide use are not fully understood, and regulatory bodies like the FDA do not regulate peptide powders for human use. Consult qualified professionals to ensure safe and ethical research practices. Proper laboratory supplies, such as reconstitution solutions and alcohol pads, are essential for maintaining sterility and accuracy during experiments.
Why Choose Kisspeptin-10?
With its critical role in reproductive biology, Kisspeptin-10 (5mg, 5mL vial) is a cornerstone for researchers investigating hormonal regulation and fertility. Its high purity, precise formulation, and reliable performance make it an essential tool for cutting-edge studies in endocrinology and reproductive health.
⚠️ *Important Notice: All peptides are supplied in a powdered (lyophilized) form. They must be reconstituted before use.
