KPV 10mg – High-Purity Research Peptide

KPV 10mg – High-Purity Research Peptide

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a synthetic tripeptide derived from the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has become a growing area of interest in controlled laboratory research due to its interaction with inflammatory signalling pathways, epithelial barrier function and immune regulation. Supplied in lyophilised (freeze-dried) form to preserve stability and peptide integrity, each batch is independently verified at >99% purity (HPLC-tested) and accompanied by a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) to support transparency and reproducibility across research applications. 

Elevr supplies KPV strictly as a research-grade peptide.

What is KPV?

KPV is a short tripeptide consisting of the amino acids lysine, proline and valine. It represents the biologically active C-terminal fragment of α-MSH and has been investigated in preclinical models for its interaction with inflammatory mediators and immune signalling pathways. Unlike the parent α-MSH peptide, KPV has been studied for anti-inflammatory mechanisms without the pigmentation-related effects associated with melanocortin signalling. 

Within laboratory environments, KPV is commonly explored in research involving gastrointestinal biology, skin physiology, epithelial barrier integrity and inflammatory response models.

Usage & Reconstitution

KPV is supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder to maintain long-term stability. In laboratory settings, it may be reconstituted using bacteriostatic water or another suitable solvent in accordance with established research protocols. The peptide typically forms a clear solution following reconstitution; gently swirl the vial to dissolve and avoid vigorous shaking.

Store unopened vials in a sealed container in a cool, dark and dry environment, protected from light and moisture. After reconstitution, store at 2–8°C. For extended storage, aliquot and freeze at −20°C, avoiding repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.
