KPV

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is studied in inflammation research, where it retains much of the parent hormone's anti-inflammatory signalling without melanocortin-receptor pigmentary activity.

Research summaries

For educational purposes only.

Alpha-MSH fragments and inflammation

Preclinical studies report that KPV reduces inflammatory cytokine production and NF-kB activation in cellular models, and attenuates colitis severity in rodent inflammatory-bowel-disease models, including when delivered orally via nanoparticle carriers.

In plain English

KPV is the three-residue segment of alpha-MSH that retains anti-inflammatory signalling. Rodent inflammatory-bowel-disease studies are the most cited part of its literature.

PepT1-mediated cellular uptake

Mechanistic work describes KPV uptake into intestinal epithelial and immune cells via the PepT1 transporter, offering a receptor-independent route for its intracellular anti-inflammatory activity.

In plain English

KPV may enter cells through the PepT1 nutrient transporter, an unusual intracellular route for a peptide.

KPV — Frequently asked questions

What is KPV?

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is sold strictly for laboratory research use — not for human or veterinary use.

What purity is this KPV?

The catalog specification lists 99.53% HPLC purity. Our testing policy also requires independent endotoxin, heavy-metals and sterility screening. A production certificate must match the batch ID printed on the vial.

What sizes does KPV come in?

KPV (20mg vial) is supplied in boxes of 10 vials, each containing 20mg. The price is $140.00 per box.

How should KPV be stored?

Keep sealed lyophilized vials refrigerated at 2–8°C away from light (stable 24+ months). After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate and use within the study-validated window, typically 30 days; never freeze reconstituted solution.
