Receptor Motif
Kisspeptin-10 (Kp-10, human; CAS# 374675-21-5) is a synthetic decapeptide corresponding to the C-terminal 10-residue active fragment of the KISS1 gene product (kisspeptin-54 / metastin). The C-terminal RF-amide motif (Arg-Phe-NH₂) is essential for binding and activation of the kisspeptin receptor KISS1R (GPR54), a Gαq/11-coupled Class A GPCR. Kisspeptin-10 is studied as a pharmacological tool for investigating KISS1R receptor pharmacology, hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis signalling, and GnRH pulse regulation in in vitro neuroendocrine research models. Supplied by NexPept as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory research use. This compound has not been authorized by Health Canada for any therapeutic, clinical, or human use.

In Vitro Research Context
Receptor pharmacology — laboratory use only
Receptor pharmacology — laboratory use only
Kisspeptin receptor — Gαq/11 GPCR; IP₃/Ca²⁺ mobilisation and ERK signalling studies
Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and gonadotropin (LH/FSH) regulation research models
Hypothalamic kisspeptin neuron models and pulsatile GnRH secretion pathway studies
Kisspeptin-10 is studied in preclinical in vitro settings as a pharmacological tool for investigating KISS1R (GPR54) receptor pharmacology and its role in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Research applications include KISS1R binding and activation assays, Gαq/11-mediated IP₃/Ca²⁺ intracellular signalling studies, ERK1/2 phosphorylation analysis, GnRH neuron stimulation models, and comparative potency assays with other RF-amide neuropeptides. As the minimal bioactive fragment of kisspeptin-54, Kp-10 is widely used as a reference agonist for KISS1R receptor characterisation.
