KPV research peptide

KPV is a synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been the subject of laboratory and preclinical research examining inflammatory signaling pathways and cellular responses to stress.

Researchers study KPV for its interactions with intracellular inflammatory cascades.

Because KPV retains anti-inflammatory activity associated with the parent α-MSH sequence while acting through mechanisms that appear independent of classical melanocortin receptor binding in many models, it provides researchers with a focused tool to examine intracellular inflammatory regulation under laboratory conditions.

Areas of laboratory interest

  • Modulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and nuclear translocation of related transcription factors
  • Influence on pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in experimental models
  • Cellular uptake mechanisms, including peptide transporter pathways
  • Inflammatory responses in epithelial and other cell types under controlled conditions
  • Broader research into melanocortin-related peptide fragments and their distinct signaling properties

Storage conditions

Long-term storage: For optimal stability, store lyophilized peptides in a freezer at approximately −20°C (−4°F) and protect from direct light.

Refrigerated storage: Short-term storage at 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F) may be appropriate depending on the specific product. Always refer to the product label or lot-specific documentation for storage requirements.

Handling and shelf life

When stored properly in their original lyophilized powder form, peptides may remain suitable for research use for approximately 18 to 24 months.

After reconstitution, peptides should be stored under refrigeration at 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F) and used within approximately 30 to 45 days, unless otherwise specified in the product documentation.

Avoid prolonged exposure to room temperature, direct light, and unnecessary temperature fluctuations to help maintain product stability.

Amino Connection takes care in preparing research products for shipment and uses appropriate cold-packaging methods when applicable to help protect products during transit.
