Immune & Bioregulators
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-MSH. It retains the anti-inflammatory signaling of the parent hormone without melanocortin receptor pigmentation activity, making it a clean tool compound in gut and skin inflammation research.
Reference data researchers look up before ordering kpv. Every lot ships with documentation matching the batch number printed on the vial.
Each kpv lot is released only after an independent purity panel. HPLC quantifies purity, LC-MS confirms molecular identity, and the lot-matched certificate is published so the number on your vial matches the report you download.
KPV ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The ratios below assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe.
PX1 Research synthesizes and fills kpv in a US cGMP-compliant facility rather than reselling imported material, so purity documentation traces back to the production lot. Multi-vial pricing steps down at 3, 5 and 10 vials, and subscription intervals are available on the product page.

It is the final three residues of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone, which carry the anti-inflammatory portion of the sequence.
No. KPV lacks the melanocortin-1 receptor binding region responsible for pigmentation.
Yes. Every kpv lot has a published, lot-matched COA showing HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation.
Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2–8°C.
