Kisspeptin
Hypothalamic Neuropeptide - Upstream regulator of the reproductive hormone axis.
Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide that acts as a master regulator upstream of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, studied extensively in reproductive-endocrinology research.
Kisspeptin sits at the very top of the reproductive hormone cascade, upstream of GnRH, which has made it a heavily studied target in reproductive endocrinology including human clinical work. The Kisspeptin-10 fragment is the common research form.
