Kisspeptin

Product Description

Overview

Kisspeptin-10 (also known as metastin or KISS-1) is a naturally occurring peptide crucial for regulating hormone signaling in human reproduction. It plays a pivotal role in initiating puberty by stimulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion and controlling the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Beyond reproduction, kisspeptin influences mood, energy balance, angiogenesis, and has shown promise in cancer research for its ability to suppress tumor growth and metastasis.
