Kisspeptin-10- Summary
- PGPIPN is a bioactive hexapeptide (Pro-Gly-Pro-Ile-Pro-Asn) derived from beta-casein during enzymatic digestion. It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties via opioid receptor modulation and cytokine suppression, making it relevant for gut health, systemic inflammation, and as a component of casein-derived functional foods.
- Kisspeptin-10 is the biologically active C-terminal decapeptide of kisspeptin, an endogenous regulator of the reproductive axis. It acts upstream of GnRH to potently stimulate LH and testosterone release, and plays a key role in sexual arousal and libido.
- Half-Life
- Estimated 30-120 minutes (peptide degradation)
- ~4 minutes (rapidly degraded); longer-acting analogs like TAK-448 are in development
- Admin Route
- Oral, Subcutaneous (research)
- SubQ, IV

- Key Benefits
- Anti-inflammatory effects via cytokine suppression
- Gut mucosal protection and intestinal barrier support
- Opioid receptor modulation for gut motility regulation
- Potential analgesic activity via central and peripheral opioid pathways
- Explored for inflammatory bowel conditions and gut dysbiosis
- Natural origin (food-derived) with favorable safety profile
- Potently stimulates LH and testosterone
- Enhances sexual arousal and libido
- Activates HPG axis — upstream of GnRH
- May improve fertility in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
- Increases brain activation in sexual attraction circuits
- May restore LH pulsatility in suppressed HPG axis
- Side Effects
- Generally very well-tolerated given food-derived origin
- Theoretical opioid-mediated constipation at high doses
- Rare milk protein allergy in casein-sensitive individuals
