Kisspeptin-10 is the C-terminal decapeptide YNWNSFGLRF-amide. It shares an active C-terminal region with longer kisspeptins but is not the same material as kisspeptin-54.
Evidence at a glance
- PubChem lists kisspeptin-10 as a 10-residue C-terminally amidated peptide with molecular weight 1302.4 g/mol.
- Full-length kisspeptin-54 is a 54-residue peptide with a different molecular record.
- The “human” qualifier usually denotes the referenced sequence, not human-source isolation or permission for human use.
Identity record
C-terminal amidation is part of the reference identity. A free-acid decapeptide has a different mass and can behave differently, so the terminal form belongs in the product name and certificate.
Analytical and evidence boundary
Search pages often merge kisspeptin, metastin, KP-10 and KP-54. A family page should define synonyms while keeping each length-specific material and its direct evidence separate.
For evidence copy, report the population, study size, sampling window and hormone endpoint. Do not turn an acute LH response into a promise about fertility, libido or long-term endocrine outcomes.
Editorial rule
State the exact material, form, model or population and endpoint supported by the cited record. Do not convert mechanistic plausibility, an animal result, a finished-drug label or an analytical test into a claim about an unrelated catalog lot.
Sources & editorial method
The editorial workflow began with linked PubMed primary papers, systematic reviews, PubChem identity records and FDA/DailyMed regulatory records. Population or model, denominators, endpoints, numerical results, null findings, limitations and conflicts were extracted before drafting. AI-assisted drafting and original image generation were used; the final facts and evidence boundaries were checked against the linked records on 2026-09-02. This is not independent peer review.
