C-terminal KISS1 decapeptide studied in vitro for KISS1R binding and neuroendocrine signaling research. ≥99% HPLC. Research use only. This guide covers identity, published research context, procurement checks, and storage — RUO only, no clinical claims.
What Kisspeptin-10 is in published research
Kisspeptin-10 is the conserved C-terminal decapeptide fragment of KISS1 with reported activity at the KISS1 receptor. It is used in receptor-binding, calcium signaling, and neuroendocrine pathway research.
The amidated C-terminus is part of the active reference sequence and is verified in lot-level identity data. Net peptide content is listed on the CoA for accurate molarity calculations.
Keep lyophilized material sealed at -20 °C away from light. Reconstitute with compatible lab solvent, aliquot immediately, and avoid repeated freeze/thaw.
CoA includes MS identity, HPLC purity, and net peptide content with batch records filed by lot.
The material class "KISS1 receptor peptide (research)" helps procurement teams group Kisspeptin-10 with related reference peptides during comparative studies.
Sequence and identity
Kisspeptin-10 identity on the catalog: Common name: Kisspeptin-10 / KP-10; Sequence: Tyr-Asn-Trp-Asn-Ser-Phe-Gly-Leu-Arg-Phe-NH2; Length: 10 residues; Molecular formula: C63H83N17O14; Molecular weight: 1,302.46 g/mol; Appearance: White lyophilized powder; Purity (HPLC): ≥ 99%; Net peptide: Listed on CoA; Solubility: Soluble in bacteriostatic water or mild aqueous acid for stock preparation. Copy these into receiving and LIMS before reconstitution.
Mechanisms studied in published research
Mechanism-focused research on Kisspeptin-10 is typically conducted in cell lines or biochemical preparations that express the relevant receptor or binding protein for its class.
Design controls that include scrambled-sequence or orthogonal-receptor negative controls when your protocol evaluates Kisspeptin-10 pharmacology in vitro.
Report effect sizes with lot number and CoA reference so results can be reproduced if the same Kisspeptin-10 SKU is reordered later.
Avoid extrapolating in vitro binding or signaling readouts to whole-organism outcomes; RUO materials are not qualified for clinical investigation.
Procurement and identity verification
Request the lot-specific CoA for Kisspeptin-10 at receipt. Verify SKU, variant size if applicable, and identity mass before the lot enters general storage.
Compare HPLC purity to your internal minimum for the peptide family. File chromatogram excerpts when your QMS requires raw data.
Enter net peptide content from the CoA into inventory before calculating molarity for Kisspeptin-10 working stocks.
Attach purchase order, packing list, and CoA in one audit folder per lot.
Storage and reconstitution
Store lyophilized Kisspeptin-10 sealed at -20 °C protected from light unless the CoA states otherwise.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water or a buffer validated for your assay pH. Aliquot to limit freeze-thaw.
For oxidation-sensitive sequences in Kisspeptin-10, minimize open-vial time at room temperature during weighing.
See our lyophilized storage guide for institution-scale SOP examples and aliquot labeling conventions.
Comparative reference points
Researchers comparing Kisspeptin-10 with adjacent catalog references often evaluate the following SKUs in parallel plates:
Use matched reconstitution buffers and stock concentrations when running comparative binding or signaling assays.
Document reviewers should cross-link this guide with the product certificate of analysis and internal receiving SOP.
When publishing methods, cite lot number, SKU, reconstitution buffer, and stock concentration so external labs can interpret your figures.
Institutional procurement may require RUO acknowledgment at checkout; store that acknowledgment beside batch records for audits.
If assay results drift across quarters, compare storage logs and CoA revision before questioning sequence integrity.
Third-party summaries, when available, should be filed as supplements—not replacements—for CoA identity data.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kisspeptin-10 for clinical programs?
No. It is sold for research use only (RUO) to qualified buyers.
What purity should we expect for Kisspeptin-10?
Listings target ≥99% HPLC with MS identity on the lot CoA. Verify on receipt, not from marketing copy alone.
How do we calculate molarity for Kisspeptin-10?
Use net peptide content from the CoA divided by molecular weight, then divide by reconstitution volume.
Can we mix lots of Kisspeptin-10 in one stock?
Avoid mixing lots unless your protocol explicitly requires it. Mixed lots break traceability.
Where is the Kisspeptin-10 product listing?
View the catalog PDP for Kisspeptin-10 for variant SKUs and quote or purchase options.
