Overview
KPV is the C-terminal lysine-proline-valine tripeptide of alpha-MSH, the shortest fragment that retains the parent peptide's activity in inflammatory-pathway models. It is widely used in gastrointestinal and mucosal bench research.
Background
Work on alpha-MSH fragments in the 1980s and 1990s showed that its anti-inflammatory profile in study models tracked with the final three residues, giving researchers a tripeptide reference instead of a 13-residue one.
Handling & storage
Reconstitute with our Laboratory Research Reconstitution Solution, running the diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the powder cake, then swirl until clear — never shake. Store the sealed lyophilised vial at -20°C protected from light; once in solution, hold at 2-8°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycling.
Documentation
Every strength is filled as its own lot and released only after identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry and purity quantified by reverse-phase HPLC. The certificate of analysis shipped with the vial matches the lot and batch printed on its label, and also reports endotoxin, sterility and heavy metals.
