Description

What is KPV (Lys-Pro-Val)?

KPV is a C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) fragment of alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (alpha-MSH), studied in in-vitro immunology and gut mucosal research models. 10mg lyophilized powder. Independently third-party tested to 99%+ purity. For in-vitro laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

What Is KPV?

KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) corresponding to the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Each vial from Genetic Peptides USA is manufactured for in-vitro and laboratory research and is shipped from within the USA.

KPV Research Context

KPV is studied in inflammation-signaling research, including NF-κB pathway activity and PepT1-mediated uptake in intestinal epithelial cell models. The information on this page summarizes published scientific context for educational purposes and is not a claim of any therapeutic effect.

Purity and Third-Party Testing

Every batch of KPV is independently third-party tested using HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) for purity and mass spectrometry (MS) for identity confirmation. Where a Certificate of Analysis is available for the current lot, it is displayed on this page. Researchers should verify the lot number on the vial against the COA for their records.

Storage and Handling of Lyophilized KPV

KPV is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, which is the most stable form for shipping and storage. Store unopened vials in a cool, dry place away from light; refrigeration at 2–8°C or freezing at -20°C is standard laboratory practice for long-term storage. Once reconstituted with a suitable solvent such as bacteriostatic water, keep refrigerated and follow your institution's handling protocols.

Why Researchers Choose Genetic Peptides USA
