KPV 10mg

Sign in for priceIn stock

KPV is a potent anti-inflammatory tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It has shown substantial promise in research on inflammatory bowel disease, reducing inflammatory infiltrates, MPO activity, and histological evidence of inflammation. Research in wound healing reveals that KPV and other alpha-MSH derivatives may speed wound healing, reduce infection, fight inflammation, and lead to better cosmetic results.

About KPV 10mg

KPV is the C-terminal peptide fragment of alpha-MSH (amino acid sequence: Lys-Pro-Val) with significant anti-inflammatory effects. The most important discovery from KPV research is its ability to reduce intestinal inflammation, with robust results in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease showing reduced inflammatory infiltrates, decreased MPO activity, and accelerated mucosal healing through strong downregulation of TNF-alpha. KPV enters colonic cells via PepT1, a transporter upregulated during inflammation, suggesting it may be an effective maintenance compound that is active only when needed. The peptide also reduces NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinase activity, exhibits antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans at physiological concentrations, and lacks the skin pigmentation side effects of its parent alpha-MSH molecule. Because KPV is a small peptide, it can be administered via multiple routes including oral, intravenous, and transdermal. This 10mg vial provides material for comprehensive immune modulation and gut health research.

Storage and reconstitution

Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C in a dry, dark environment. Reconstitute in bacteriostatic water or sterile saline. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. Lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature for shipping and short-term storage.

Shipping within Canada

Orders placed before 2:00 PM Pacific on a business day are packed and dispatched the same day. Orders placed after that cut-off, or on a weekend or statutory holiday, are dispatched on the next business day. Parcels leave British Columbia, Canada and travel entirely within the country, so nothing on this order crosses a border, clears customs or is held by CBSA. Orders over CA$200 ship free; see the shipping page for transit times by province.
