It is a member of the RFamide peptide family, characterized by a common Arg-Phe-NH₂ motif at the C-terminus. The KISS1 gene produces a 145-amino acid precursor protein that is proteolytically cleaved to generate several biologically active fragments of varying lengths: kisspeptin-54 (the primary endogenous form, also known as metastin), kisspeptin-14, kisspeptin-13, and kisspeptin-10.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKisspeptin-10 is the shortest endogenous fragment and the most commonly used variant in biomedical research.
