KPV

Buy KPV UK – 10 mg vials

Looking for KPV UK? Ultra Peptides supplies KPV as a lyophilised research compound in 10 mg vials (10 mg for £29.99), dispatched from the UK the same working day when you order and pay before 2 pm. The C-terminal tripeptide of α-MSH (Lys-Pro-Val), studied for anti-inflammatory signalling in gut and skin models.

What is KPV?

KPV is the tripeptide lysine-proline-valine – the C-terminal end (residues 11–13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It keeps much of α-MSH's anti-inflammatory activity without its pigmentation effects.

It is supplied as a 10 mg lyophilised powder.

KPV research overview

Researchers who order KPV UK from us typically work in the following areas. All of the work summarised here is preclinical – cell-culture and animal-model research – and is not evidence of any effect in people.

Intestinal inflammation models

KPV has been investigated in colitis models and intestinal epithelial cells, where it is taken up through the PepT1 transporter.

NF-κB signalling

Cell studies describe reduced NF-κB activation and lower pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in the presence of KPV.

KPV specifications

Purity and independent lab testing

Every vial of KPV UK is supplied at a minimum of 99% purity, measured by HPLC. We send batches to independent laboratories and publish the certificates on our lab reports page as they are issued. If you need the analysis for the batch you receive, email us your order number and we will send it.

Peptides are synthesised to the published sequence, lyophilised and sealed under controlled conditions, then stored cold and away from light until they are packed for dispatch.

Reconstituting and storing KPV

KPV arrives as a dry, lyophilised powder. Most researchers reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water, adding the diluent slowly down the inside of the vial and swirling gently rather than shaking. Use our reconstitution calculator to work out the concentration for the volume you add.

Unopened vials keep best frozen at −20 °C, or in the fridge at 2–8 °C for shorter periods, always protected from light. Once reconstituted, keep the solution refrigerated and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles – splitting it into aliquots helps. Our storage guide covers shelf life in detail.

Often researched alongside: BPC-157.

Laboratory handling checklist for KPV

• Let the sealed vial reach room temperature before opening, so moisture does not condense on the powder.
• Wipe the rubber septum with 70% isopropyl alcohol and work on a clean surface.
• Add the diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl gently until the powder has dissolved – do not shake.
• Label the vial with the concentration, the date of reconstitution and the batch number.
• Keep reconstituted solutions at 2–8 °C, protected from light, and use them within the stability window of your protocol.
• Record lot numbers in your lab notebook so results can be traced back to a specific batch.
