KPV — a small tripeptide composed solely of three amino acids: lysine, proline, and valine. Due to its origin, it corresponds to the C-terminal fragment of the α-MSH hormone. It is available in the PurePeptides catalog for laboratory research applications with over 98% purity.

What is KPV

The tripeptide reproduces the functional region of α-MSH, a signaling molecule of the melanocortin system whose effects are transmitted through the MC1R receptor. Researchers are mainly focused on its anti-inflammatory profile, while its compact structure facilitates experimental work with the reagent.

What do the studies show

Main lines of KPV research in laboratory models:

  • Reduction of inflammation through the oligopeptide transporter PepT1 in epithelial cells and intestinal immune cells;
  • Activity against certain microorganisms;
  • Models of chronic inflammation, including ulcerative colitis and psoriasis.

The data correspond to experimental laboratory models and do not constitute a claim about effects in humans.

Laboratory application

KPV's short peptide chain and purity greater than 98% make it a suitable compound for reproducible experiments, including comparative protocols with other short peptides.

Format and order

It is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Before use, the lyophilized powder is reconstituted with a suitable solvent. After opening, the material should be stored at a temperature not exceeding +5 °C.
