Kisspeptin-10 is a short neuropeptide fragment, the 10-amino-acid active piece of the larger kisspeptin protein made by the KISS1 gene. It is best known in research for how it signals through the GPR54 (KISS1R) receptor, and it is studied as a key upstream switch in the reproductive-hormone (HPG) axis.
It also has a solid research base, with work looking at how it acts on GnRH-producing neurons and downstream hormone signaling (Dhillo et al., 2005, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology). That makes it a common reference peptide in this field.
