What is KPV?
KPV is the tripeptide lysine-proline-valine, the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. The fragment retains the anti-inflammatory signalling associated with the parent hormone without its pigmentary activity, which is why it is studied separately from full-length alpha-MSH. Pepstral supplies it as a lyophilized powder for in-vitro laboratory research only.

What is KPV studied for?
- Anti-inflammatory signalling assays
- Melanocortin fragment comparisons
- Epithelial and mucosal models
- NF-κB pathway research
All applications above are in-vitro or preclinical research contexts. KPV is sold for laboratory research only and is not for human or animal use.
What does the certificate for lot KPV10-0318 show?
Every lot of KPV is tested by an independent US laboratory before it is listed. The report for lot KPV10-0318 is in the COA library and the lot number printed on the vial matches it. The current results:
| Test | Method | Lot KPV10-0318 result |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | LC-MS/MS | KPV · conforms |
| Content | HPLC quantitation | 10.20 mg |
| Purity | RP-HPLC (214 nm) | 99.73% |
| Endotoxin | USP <85> | <0.05 EU/mL |
| Heavy metals | USP <232> | <0.01 ppm |
How is KPV handled and stored?
Sealed vials are stored at -20°C away from light and keep for 24 months. To reconstitute, add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl until clear; never shake. Once in solution, keep at 2 to 8°C and use within our 28-day default for a preserved solution. The concentration table gives the dilution volumes and microlitre aliquots for this vial.
Frequently asked questions
Why use the fragment rather than alpha-MSH?
KPV separates the anti-inflammatory signal from the melanocortin receptor activity that drives pigmentation, so the two can be studied independently.
Is KPV related to melanotan?
Both derive from alpha-MSH, but the melanotans are receptor agonists built for pigmentary activity and KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide.
Is KPV for human use?
No. Every product on this site is sold for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not for human or animal consumption, diagnostic or therapeutic use.
