KPV

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been referenced in published preclinical literature and is manufactured to ≥99% purity with third-party verification.

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide derived from the C-terminus of α-MSH. It has been referenced in published preclinical literature. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized research peptide.

KPV was identified through structure-activity studies of α-MSH, primarily from research by Lipton and Catania. The discovery demonstrated that the C-terminal tripeptide retained independent activity distinct from the full-length hormone.

This peptide carries the True Research Certified designation, awarded exclusively to compounds that achieve verified ≥99% purity through independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis. True Research Certified products undergo batch-level endotoxin screening via the LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) method and are accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and endotoxin results. This certification reflects our commitment to supplying only the highest-grade research materials to the scientific community.
