Research Context
Kisspeptin is studied in neuroendocrine and reproductive-axis research, where it is examined as a ligand for the KISS1R (GPR54) receptor. The name metastin reflects its original identification in metastasis-suppression research. Ascend Research supplies Kisspeptin strictly as a laboratory reference material; no representation is made regarding any physiological outcome, and it is not supplied for use in humans or animals.
Handling and Reconstitution
Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening. Reconstitute with sterile water and swirl gently. Store the lyophilised powder dry at 2–8°C, refrigerate reconstituted material and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
What's Included
- One lyophilised vial (5mg or 10mg, as selected)
- Protective packaging
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CAS number for Kisspeptin-10?

Why is Kisspeptin also called metastin?
It was first identified in metastasis-suppression research before its neuroendocrine role was characterised.
What receptor does Kisspeptin act on?
KISS1R, also known as GPR54.
Should I choose the 5mg or 10mg vial?
Both are the same material at the same ≥99% purity; vial size is a matter of research scale.
