Product Information
Kisspeptin is a peptide hormone, initially identified for its role in suppressing cancer metastasis, but now known to be a crucial regulator of the reproductive system. It acts as a key activator of GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus, which are essential for puberty onset and the subsequent release of gonadotropins (LH and FSH) that drive sexual development and reproduction. Kisspeptin’s influence extends beyond reproduction, impacting mood, emotions, and even potentially influencing sexual desire and behavior.
Kisspeptin is a central player in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, a key hormonal pathway for reproduction. It stimulates the release of GnRH, which then triggers the release of LH and FSH from the pituitary gland. These hormones act on the ovaries and testes, leading to the production of sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen, which are vital for puberty and reproductive function.
