KPV is a synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val), the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, supplied as 10 mg of lyophilized powder in a sealed vial for laboratory research. At CaribePeptides you buy KPV from a store based in Puerto Rico: live stock and USD prices on this page, certificates of analysis posted in our public COA library, local shipping across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, and payment with ATH Móvil or Venmo.
KPV is a three-amino-acid peptide: L-lysyl-L-prolyl-L-valine. It corresponds to residues 11–13 of α-MSH, so it is often listed as α-MSH (11–13). Its molecular formula is C16H30N4O4, with a molecular weight of about 342.4 g/mol. Because it is so small, KPV is investigated as a minimal fragment of the parent melanocortin hormone.
In laboratory research, KPV is studied at the cellular level in relation to inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-κB. Cell studies have also examined its uptake into intestinal epithelial cells through the PepT1 peptide transporter. Whether it acts through melanocortin receptors, or mainly inside the cell after uptake, remains an open question in the literature.
Current prices and stock for each pack are shown above. For lab handling, store the lyophilized powder cold and away from light, and reconstitute with a suitable diluent such as bacteriostatic water for laboratory work. Bacteriostatic water is also in our shop.
A certificate of analysis (COA) identifies the material and states its purity and test date for a specific lot. COAs are posted in the COA library as lots are documented, so check the library for the lot you are buying.
