Kisspeptin-10

KP-10, Metastin (45-54), Kisspeptin-10 (human), KiSS-1

Kisspeptin-10 is a decapeptide that activates the KISS1R receptor to stimulate GnRH release, regulating the reproductive hormone axis and fertility.

Differential protein expression profiling by iTRAQ-two-dimensional LC-MS/MS of human bladder cancer EJ138 cells transfected with the metastasis suppressor KiSS-1 gene.

Ruppen. Isabel I; Grau. Laura L; Orenes-Piñero. Esteban E; Ashman. Keith K; Gil. Marta M; Algab...

The paper examined how putting the KiSS-1 gene (which can suppress cancer spread) into bladder cancer cells changes the proteins those cells make. It identified many proteins that shift when KiSS-1 is present and highlighted Filamin A as a possible marker of tumor progression. The work is basic cancer research and does not give any direct advice or protocols for health‑optimizing practices.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuronal migration.

Schwarting. Gerald A GA; Wierman. Margaret E ME; Tobet. Stuart A SA

The paper explains how brain cells that make a hormone called GnRH, which controls reproduction, develop in the nose area and travel to the brain. If they don’t reach the right spot, it can cause infertility or loss of smell, and scientists are still figuring out the exact signals that guide this journey.

Kisspeptin and GPR54 immunoreactivity in a cohort of 518 patients defines favourable prognosis and clear cell subtype in ovarian carcinoma.

Prentice. Leah M LM; Klausen. Christian C; Kalloger. Steve S; Köbel. Martin M; McKinney. Steven...

The study looked at ovarian cancer tissue and found that tumors with high levels of the proteins kisspeptin and its receptor GPR54 were linked to better survival rates, especially in a specific clear‑cell type of ovarian cancer. These proteins act as markers that doctors might use to predict how a patient will do, but they aren't something you can take or change yourself.

Dysregulated human renin expression in transgenic mice carrying truncated genomic constructs: evidence supporting the presence of insulators at the renin locus.

Zhou. Xiyou X; Weatherford. Eric T ET; Liu. Xuebo X; Born. Ella E; Keen. Henry L HL; Sigmund. Curt D...

The study looks at how deleting DNA upstream of the human renin gene in mice affects renin production, showing that large deletions cause big changes in renin levels but keep nearby genes working normally. It’s a basic genetics experiment and doesn’t give any tips or data that biohackers could use for health, longevity, or performance.

Expression of the metastasis suppressor gene KISS1 in uveal melanoma.

Martins. C M O CM; Fernandes. B F BF; Antecka. E E; Di Cesare. S S; Mansure. J J C JJ; Marshall. J-C...

Researchers looked at a gene called KISS1, which can suppress cancer spread, in eye melanoma tumors. They found that most tumors had KISS1 protein, but lower levels were linked to a higher chance of the cancer spreading. The gene and its receptor were also present in melanoma cell lines.

Transcriptional regulation of KiSS-1 gene expression in metastatic melanoma by specificity protein-1 and its coactivator DRIP-130.

Mitchell. D C DC; Stafford. L J LJ; Li. D D; Bar-Eli. M M; Liu. M M

Scientists found that a protein called DRIP-130 helps turn on the KiSS-1 gene, which can stop cancer cells from spreading. When DRIP-130 is missing, KiSS-1 is turned off and melanoma cells become more invasive. Adding back DRIP-130 and another protein, Sp1, restores KiSS-1 and reduces the cells' ability to move and invade.

Quantitative distribution of a panel of circulating mRNA in preeclampsia versus controls.

Farina. Antonio A; Sekizawa. Akihiko A; Purwosunu. Yuditiya Y; Rizzo. Nicola N; Banzola. Irina I; Co...

Researchers measured several mRNA molecules in the blood of pregnant women and found that most of them, including the KISS-1 gene (which makes kisspeptin), change in women who develop preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication. The study is about detecting the disease early, not about using kisspeptin as a supplement or therapy for health or performance.

Kisspeptin-10, a KiSS-1/metastin-derived decapeptide, is a physiological invasion inhibitor of primary human trophoblasts.

Bilban. Martin M; Ghaffari-Tabrizi. Nassim N; Hintermann. Edith E; Bauer. Sandra S; Molzer. Sylvia S...

Researchers found that a tiny protein called kisspeptin-10, which is naturally made by early pregnancy cells, can slow down those cells' ability to move and invade tissue, without affecting how fast they grow. This effect seems to be linked to changes in calcium inside the cells and reduced activity of enzymes that break down surrounding material.

Differential expression of the closely linked KISS1, REN, and FLJ10761 genes in transgenic mice.

Nistala. Ravi R; Zhang. Xiaoji X; Sigmund. Curt D CD

The study shows that when a big chunk of human DNA containing the KISS1 gene (which makes kisspeptin), the REN gene, and another nearby gene is inserted into mice, each gene still behaves mostly like it does in humans, keeping its own tissue‑specific activity. This is a basic science finding about gene regulation, not about using kisspeptin‑10 as a supplement or therapy.

Kisspeptins and the placenta: regulation of trophoblast invasion.

Hiden. Ursula U; Bilban. Martin M; Knöfler. Martin M; Desoye. Gernot G

The study shows that kisspeptin-10, a small protein made by the placenta, can block the invasion of certain placental cells that are important for pregnancy development. This effect is strongest early in pregnancy and appears to help keep the invasion process tightly controlled.

Kisspeptin 10 inhibits the Warburg effect in breast cancer through the Smad signaling pathway: both in vitro and in vivo.

Song. Guo-Qing GQ; Zhao. Yi Y

Researchers found that a short piece of the hormone kisspeptin, called kisspeptin‑10, can slow down the sugar‑burning style that many breast cancer cells use to grow, and it does this by turning on a cell‑signaling pathway called Smad. This effect was seen in breast cancer cells in a dish and in mouse tumors, but the study didn’t look at healthy people or give any dosing advice.
