Research Peptide

KPV 10 mg

Research-grade lyophilized peptide powder supplied in a sterile glass vial. KPV is the tripeptide Lys–Pro–Val, representing the C-terminal active fragment of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), investigated in controlled laboratory settings for its role in anti-inflammatory signaling, epithelial barrier function, and melanocortin-pathway research.

Research Overview

KPV is a tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of α-MSH and is widely used in laboratory settings as a tool compound for investigating melanocortin-related anti-inflammatory signaling, epithelial barrier integrity, and cellular stress responses in skin and intestinal research models. No therapeutic or clinical claims are made or implied.

Primary Research Areas

Anti-Inflammatory Pathways
Experimental models investigating suppression of pro-inflammatory signaling and modulation of cytokine and chemokine responses.
Intestinal Barrier & Epithelial Integrity
Research focused on tight-junction proteins, epithelial repair dynamics, barrier function, and responses under inflammatory challenge.
Skin & Keratinocyte Models
Experimental systems exploring oxidative stress, inflammatory pathways, keratinocyte behaviour, and melanocortin-related effects in skin cells.
Melanocortin & α-MSH Signaling
Studies in which KPV serves as the minimal α-MSH fragment to probe receptor-mediated anti-inflammatory and protective signaling mechanisms.
Laboratory handling note:
Lyophilized peptides are commonly reconstituted using sterile research diluents such as bacteriostatic water (BAC).
Reconstitution

Recommended solvent — Bacteriostatic water

Bacteriostatic water 10mg Peptide Revolution

For diluting lyophilized peptide powders, use a sterile and suitable research solvent such as bacteriostatic water (BAC), which may help support handling stability and reduce contamination risk.

For convenient laboratory use, see Bacteriostatic Water 10ml.
