Kisspeptin-10

Hormones & Endocrine (Non-GH)
Phase 3
Investigational

Kisspeptin is a brain signaling peptide that plays a critical role in reproductive hormone regulation. It works upstream of GnRH to control the hormone signaling chain between the brain and reproductive organs. It is being studied for fertility and puberty disorders.

Overview of Kisspeptin-10

Activates KISS1R receptors on GnRH neurons to trigger gonadotropin-releasing hormone release, serving as a master regulator of reproduction.

Reproductive hormones

Binds to GPR54/KISS1R receptors on hypothalamic GnRH neurons, activating phospholipase C signaling.

Potently stimulates GnRH neurons, triggering GnRH release into portal circulation (required for normal puberty and fertility).

Single injection can induce LH surge, useful for ovulation induction in assisted reproduction.

Puberty / development

Essential for pubertal onset, as mutations in kisspeptin or its receptor cause hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Metabolic integration

Kisspeptin neurons integrate metabolic signals (proposed), linking energy status to reproductive function
