About the reference identity
Why the sequence length belongs in the name
Kisspeptin names a family of related peptide forms, including kisspeptin-10, -13 and -54. Those numbers distinguish sequence lengths. The reference kisspeptin-10 record describes a ten-residue chain with an amidated end. A listing that says only Kisspeptin still needs supporting records to establish its exact form.
