Kisspeptin-10

Chemical & physical information

Peptide class: Short neuropeptide fragment
Form: Lyophilised solid
Typical purity: ≥98–99% (analytical method dependent)

Research context

Kisspeptin-10 is widely studied in endocrine and neuroendocrine research, particularly in experimental models investigating:

• Hypothalamic–pituitary signalling pathways
• Peptide-receptor interactions
• Hormonal feedback mechanisms
• Reproductive axis regulation models

Its defined sequence and receptor specificity make it useful for targeted signalling studies in controlled laboratory conditions.

Important handling note (hydrophobic behaviour)

Kisspeptin-10 is hydrophobic in nature. When reconstituted directly with aqueous solutions such as bacteriostatic water, it may aggregate or form a gel-like consistency.

To improve solubility and handling:

• It is common laboratory practice to first introduce 10–20% acetic acid before dilution
• This approach helps maintain peptide solubility and consistency during preparation
• Reconstitution methods should always follow appropriate laboratory protocols and internal SOPs.
