KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide corresponding to residues 11–13 of the C-terminal region of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) — C16H30N4O4, 342.43 Da, CAS 67727-97-3. Supplied as a lyophilized white powder for preclinical research only — not for human use.

In cell-culture and animal models, KPV has been reported to modulate NF-κB signalling and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression (IL-6, TNF-α) in keratinocytes and intestinal epithelial cells, and to influence neutrophil migration in inflammation models. All research is in-vitro and in animal models only.

Handling & storage

  • General storage: Store away from direct sunlight, keep in cool dry conditions.
  • Long-term storage (lyophilised powder): -20 °C
  • Temperature cycling: Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles; aliquot before freezing.

Allow the sealed vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
