KPV: Research Profile, Dosages & Supplier Prices

Anti-inflammatory research · Lyophilized vial, capsules, topical · Also known as: Lys-Pro-Val, alpha-MSH(11-13)

KPV is a anti-inflammatory research compound with a molecular weight of 342.4 g/mol and a research half-life of short; studied in oral, topical, and injectable research formats. KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) comprising the C-terminal fragment of alpha-MSH. Despite containing only 3 amino acids, it retains the anti-inflammatory signaling activity of the parent hormone in published research without melanocortin pigmentation effects.

What is KPV?

Research interest centers on inflammatory bowel models, skin inflammation research, and NF-kB pathway modulation. Its small size makes it orally stable in research models, which is unusual for peptides.

KPV is one of the cheapest peptides to synthesize. There is little excuse for poor quality - but also little reason to pay premium prices.

Mechanism of Action (Research Context)

Studied for NF-kB pathway inhibition and anti-inflammatory cytokine modulation in cell and animal models, acting through melanocortin-independent pathways.

KPV FAQ

KPV is the C-terminal fragment of alpha-MSH, the same parent hormone Melanotan peptides are based on - but KPV retains only anti-inflammatory signaling without pigmentation effects in published research.
