KPV – 10mg

KPV 10mg

High-purity synthetic research peptide supplied as a lyophilised powder for laboratory use.

KPV is a synthetic tripeptide made up of the final three amino acids of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is commonly used in laboratory research to study melanocortin-related signalling without using the full-length α-MSH peptide.

In experimental models, KPV has been investigated for its effects on immune-related and inflammatory signalling pathways, short-peptide activity and intracellular responses. Results can vary depending on peptide concentration, exposure time, cell type and experimental conditions.

Research Applications

• Investigation of melanocortin-related signalling pathways
• Study of peptide-mediated immune and inflammatory signalling
• Research into short-peptide stability and cellular interactions
• Use as a reference compound in α-MSH fragment research

Laboratory Handling & Stability

Handle under clean, dry laboratory conditions. Reconstitute using a suitable sterile laboratory diluent or buffered aqueous solution appropriate to the experimental protocol.

Avoid vigorous shaking during dissolution. Prepared solutions should be aliquoted and stored according to the requirements of the research method while avoiding unnecessary repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Important Research Notice

Experimental behaviour may vary depending on peptide concentration, exposure duration, buffer composition, pH and the research model being used. Short peptide fragments may behave differently from the full-length parent peptide, so appropriate experimental controls are recommended.
