Overview

What is Kisspeptin-10?

Kisspeptin-10 was originally named Metastin after its ability to prevent the spread of cancer (metastasis). Kisspeptin-10 is a peptide produced in the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which then causes luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to be released from the pituitary gland. It is used by men who are undergoing testosterone replacement therapy and often used instead of hCG to boost the body’s own testosterone and prevent testicular atrophy.

Scientific Information

Kisspeptin, collectively describing the neuropeptides cleaved from its 145-amino acid polypeptide precursor (encoded by the KISS1/Kiss1 gene), is a pivotal regulator of reproductive function. Several isoforms exist with a common RF-amide C terminus, including kisspeptin (KP)-54, KP-14, KP-13 and KP-10 (suffix denoting the number of amino acids) although there is some debate as to what extent each isoform is naturally present. Kisspeptin is the endogenous ligand for the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R/Kiss1r). All of the isoforms have the ability to activate the kisspeptin receptor due to a common C-terminal decapeptide sequence, although KP-54 appears to be the most abundant peptide product in human circulation.

Kisspeptin was originally identified as a metastasis suppressor gene (formerly known as metastin) in human melanoma cell lines. However, landmark studies revealed that KISS1/KISS1R-inactivating mutations in humans or Kiss1r-targeted deletions in transgenic mice, result in a phenotype of delayed puberty and idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Conversely, activating mutations in KISS1R cause central precocious puberty. These pivotal observations established the essential role which kisspeptin plays in the timing of puberty and regulation of the HPG axis.

Research Highlights

Kisspeptin is a peptide (a short chain of amino acids) that is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. It plays an important role in human reproduction, secretion of aldosterone (regulates water and salt balance), tumor suppression, and kidney function. It’s a naturally-occurring protein in your body that serves a critical role in hormone signaling, mainly while puberty occurs and during reproduction. Kisspeptin-10 was created to replicate the effects that Kisspeptin provides to your body naturally.

It’s known that reproductive health is tied to emotional and mental health in adults, so it shouldn’t be surprising that Kisspeptin-10 may influence behavior and mood. Research from a study in animals showed that the peptide enhanced brain activity, thereby boosting motivation and mood in the participants. Though more research is needed, Kisspeptin-10 is also thought to help lower feelings of anxiety in adults.

Kisspeptin-10 is showing promising results in stopping the spread of cancer. It’s been shown that in suppressing tumor spread and growth, some cancers stop spreading. In one study, the spread of a malignant skin cancer was reduced by 95%. Researchers came to this conclusion after it was discovered that peptides can reduce cell cancer migration.
