KPV: Research, Benefits & UK Availability
A potent tripeptide derived from alpha-MSH, researched for anti-inflammatory properties through melanocortin receptor interaction and NF-kB suppression.
Every Peptify KPV batch is independently HPLC-tested by Janoshik Analytical (Czech Republic) and ships with the batch-matched Certificate of Analysis.
What is KPV?
**Inflammation research.** KPV is the tripeptide tail of alpha-MSH, studied for NF-kB pathway suppression with markedly greater enzymatic stability than its parent molecule. At 313 Da, it is one of the smallest multi-pathway peptides in the catalogue.
Preclinical research has examined KPV in intestinal inflammation models, mucosal healing, epithelial barrier integrity, antimicrobial activity, and skin barrier work. The combination of small size, broad mechanism, and stability has made it a frequent reference in both gut and dermal research literature.
10mg lyophilised vial. Research-grade, COA-verified, 99%+ HPLC purity. Royal Mail Tracked dispatch. For in-vitro use only.

How to Store KPV
Unreconstituted (Lyophilised Powder)
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, keep refrigerated at 2–8°C. Under these conditions, lyophilised peptides can remain stable for up to 24 months. For extended preservation beyond 24 months, store at -20°C in a freezer.
Reconstituted (Mixed with BAC Water)
Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, the peptide solution must be refrigerated at 2–8°C. Use within 4–6 weeks for optimal potency. Do not freeze reconstituted peptides as this may degrade the compound.
General Tips
Always keep vials upright to prevent leakage. Avoid repeated temperature fluctuations — do not leave vials out at room temperature for extended periods. Protect from light exposure by storing in the original packaging or a dark container. Label all vials with the reconstitution date.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is KPV researched for?
KPV is primarily studied for its anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in gut health research. It suppresses NF-kB and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines.
How does KPV relate to alpha-MSH?
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Research has examined whether the tripeptide retains the anti-inflammatory signalling of the parent molecule.
What purity does Peptify supply?
Peptify KPV is 99%+ HPLC-verified. Every batch ships with a downloadable Janoshik Analytical Certificate of Analysis matching the lot number printed on the vial.
