What is Kisspeptin-10?

Kisspeptin-10 is a synthetic decapeptide corresponding to residues 112-121 of the human KISS1 gene product, with the sequence YNWNSFGLRF-NH2, molecular formula C63H83N17O14 and CAS number 374675-21-5. It is characterised in the literature as an agonist at the kisspeptin receptor KISS1R, also known as GPR54. Kovalabs supplies it as a lyophilised reference compound for laboratory research use only.

Is Kisspeptin-10 legal to buy in the UK?

Kisspeptin-10 is not a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and is not scheduled, so it may be bought and held in the UK as a laboratory reference material. It is supplied strictly for research use only and is not for human or veterinary consumption. The buyer is responsible for handling, storage and use in line with applicable law and institutional rules.

Is Kisspeptin-10 for human use?

No. Kisspeptin-10 is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only. It is not a licensed medicine, holds no marketing authorisation, and is not intended, labelled or sold for human or veterinary use. The milligram strength on the vial is a product specification, not a usage instruction, and no guidance on administration to any human or animal is given or implied.

What receptor does Kisspeptin-10 act at?

The literature characterises Kisspeptin-10 as an agonist at KISS1R, a G-protein-coupled receptor also catalogued as GPR54. In receptor-transfected cell systems, receptor engagement has been studied through downstream readouts including ERK1/2 phosphorylation and intracellular calcium signalling. This describes in-vitro receptor pharmacology and establishes nothing about any outcome in a human or animal.

Is Kisspeptin-10 the same as metastin?

Kisspeptin-10 is the decapeptide fragment also catalogued in the literature as metastin 45-54, so the two names refer to the same synthetic sequence. Both correspond to CAS 374675-21-5. The full-length KISS1 gene products are longer peptides and are distinct materials, so the fragment and the parent should not be treated as interchangeable.

What purity is the Kisspeptin-10 tested to?

Every batch is released only after independent analytical testing, with purity assessed by HPLC at 99% or higher and identity confirmed against the expected mass for C63H83N17O14. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis accompanies the material and current documents are published on our CoAs page, so the specification can be checked against the vial before any work begins.

Is all kisspeptin the same?

No. Material sold under the same name can differ substantially in identity and purity, and kisspeptin is additionally sold as several different fragment lengths. Only a batch that ships with a certificate of analysis from an independent laboratory can be treated as a characterised reference compound, confirming both which fragment it is and how pure that fragment is.

How do I identify which batch I have received?

Match the compound name and the batch number printed on the vial label to the corresponding per-batch Certificate of Analysis on the CoAs page. The certificate states the identity result and the HPLC purity figure for that specific batch, so you can verify exactly what was supplied rather than relying on the product listing alone.

What does the research on Kisspeptin-10 investigate?

The published literature uses Kisspeptin-10 as a tool compound to probe KISS1R / GPR54 binding and the intracellular cascades it recruits, in receptor-transfected cell lines and in isolated hypothalamic GnRH neurons, alongside structure-activity work mapping which residues drive receptor affinity. None of that work establishes a benefit, effect, safety profile or outcome in humans.

How does Kisspeptin-10 differ from Selank or Semax?

They are distinct molecules acting through separate mechanisms. Kisspeptin-10 is characterised as a KISS1R agonist, while Selank and Semax are short regulatory peptides investigated in their own separate central-signalling literature. All three sit in the neuropeptides research category, which groups them by field of study rather than by any shared receptor or any suggestion of combining them.

How should Kisspeptin-10 be stored?

Store the lyophilised solid at -20C, kept dry and protected from light. Once reconstituted at the bench with a research solvent such as bacteriostatic water, hold the material at 2-8C. Storage guidance describes handling of a laboratory reference material and is not instruction for any use in a human or animal.

What is Kisspeptin-10 supplied as?

It is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilised solid in a sealed vial, sold per vial and despatched from the UK. It is intended to be reconstituted at the bench with a research solvent such as bacteriostatic water, which Kovalabs stocks as a separate research consumable. The stated milligram figure is a product specification only.

Can I buy Kisspeptin-10 in the UK from Kovalabs?

Yes. Kovalabs supplies Kisspeptin-10 in the UK as a research chemical for laboratory use only, despatched from the UK with a batch-specific certificate of analysis. It is not sold for human or veterinary consumption and is not a licensed medicine; the buyer is responsible for compliant handling under their own obligations.
