Product Overview
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide made up of lysine, proline, and valine. It is a fragment of the larger α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
The peptide interacts with melanocortin receptor pathways and has been studied in laboratory research on inflammatory and immune signaling. It is of particular interest in research models looking at intestinal inflammation, epithelial integrity, and immune response regulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does each vial contain?
Each vial is labeled at 10mg of KPV in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form. The Janoshik test for this lot measured 10.34 mg.
Q2. What does the product look like?
A fine white to off-white powder at the bottom of the vial.
Q3. How should it be stored?
Keep it at –20°C and away from light. Stored this way, the lyophilized powder remains stable for up to 24 months. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
Q4. Is KPV sterile?
Vials are filled under sterile conditions. Once a vial is opened, sterile handling must be maintained.
Q5. Is this product for human use?
No. It is for laboratory research only and is not approved for medical, veterinary, or dietary use.
Q6. Why is KPV studied in research?
It is studied for its role in inflammatory signaling, including pro-inflammatory cytokine activity and epithelial barrier integrity.
Q7. Has this lot been third-party tested?
Yes. Lot TGC-KPV-20260723 was tested by Janoshik on 04 Aug 2026 (Report #211889), with a measured purity of 99.422% and a measured content of 10.34 mg.
