Description
Kisspeptin-10 (mouse, rat), with the sequence YNWNSFGLRY, is a ten-residue neuropeptide. In aqueous solution at neutral pH, it predominantly adopts a random coil conformation. This peptide exhibits conformational versatility and can undergo structural changes under specific conditions. Notably, in the presence of the glycosaminoglycan heparin, Kisspeptin-10 is induced to form β-sheet-rich amyloid aggregates at both neutral and slightly acidic pH. This aggregation process, characterized by a lag phase followed by fibril growth, is facilitated by electrostatic interactions with heparin. Conversely, the presence of submicellar concentrations of amphiphilic surfactants, such as dodecylphosphocholine and sodium dodecyl sulfate, strongly inhibits this heparin-induced aggregation. Biophysical analyses, including circular dichroism spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy, confirm the formation of fibrillar structures rich in β-sheet content under aggregating conditions.

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
