Kisspeptin-10 (Metastin 45–54) — 5 mg is a decapeptide agonist of the KISS1R (GPR54) receptor, supplied by Peptide Tech at ≥ 99% purity (HPLC/MS verified) for in-vitro, cellular, and biochemical research use only (RUO). In controlled models, Kp-10 is used to interrogate GPCR signaling, GnRH-neuron excitability, and Ca2+ dynamics.

Storage & Handling
- Lyophilized (unopened): Store at ≤ −20 °C, desiccated and protected from light. For long-term archival, ≤ −80 °C is recommended.
- After reconstitution: Aliquot into sterile, low-binding tubes; store at ≤ −80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
- Handling: Allow vial to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation. Use sterile technique and neutral pH buffers; add carrier protein (e.g., 0.1% BSA) if adsorption is a concern.
- Research Use Only (RUO): Not for human or veterinary use, ingestion, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications.
