Product Description
Kisspeptin is a pivotal neuropeptide that regulates the reproductive system, hailed as the **"switch that initiates puberty"** and the **"commander-in-chief of the reproductive axis."**
I. Basic Information
Full Name: Kisspeptin (formerly known as Metastin)
Encoding Gene: KISS1
Receptor: KISS1R (formerly known as GPR54)
Major Forms:
KP-54: Full-length form; the primary circulating form
KP-10: Minimal active unit; frequently used in research
II. Core Physiological Functions
1. Regulation of the Reproductive Center (Primary Function)
Action Pathway:
Kisspeptin → Stimulates GnRH → Promotes LH/FSH release → Sex Hormones (Testosterone / Estrogen)
Initiation of Puberty: Kisspeptin levels are low prior to puberty, then surge dramatically during puberty
Maintenance of Fertility: Regulates ovulation, spermatogenesis, and sexual function
Hormonal Feedback: Mediates both positive and negative feedback effects of estrogen/progesterone on the central nervous system
2. Metabolism-Reproduction Link
Energy Sensitivity: Responsive to Leptin and Insulin
Famine Signaling: In conditions of energy deficit, Kisspeptin levels decline → Suppression of reproductive function (amenorrhea / infertility)
3. Other Functions
Tumor Suppression: Originally identified as a tumor metastasis suppressor factor
Maintenance of Pregnancy: Levels surge during pregnancy; involved in placental function
Neuroprotection: Exhibits anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic properties
III. Clinical Significance
Hypofunction: Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (IHH), Infertility
Hyperfunction: Central Precocious Puberty (CPP)
Associated Conditions: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Amenorrhea
Applications: Assisted Reproductive Technology (IVF), Infertility Treatment, Diagnosis of Disorders of Sexual Development
Summary
Kisspeptin serves as a central hub peptide connecting metabolism, energy balance, and reproduction. In the fields you focus on—including anti-aging, metabolic health, and reproductive health—it represents a key therapeutic target for regulating puberty, fertility, and weight management.
