KPV is a synthetic tripeptide composed of the amino-acid sequence Lys-Pro-Val and supplied as a lyophilised powder in a sealed single-use vial for laboratory and analytical research purposes only. Each vial contains 5mg. Stock is held and dispatched from Australia with tracking, typically within 1-2 business days of order.
Specifications - Compound: KPV. Sequence: Lys-Pro-Val. Format: lyophilised powder. Quantity: 5mg per vial. Salt form, molecular weight, purity and analytical method: refer to the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. Appearance: white to off-white lyophilised material. Storage: 2-8 degrees C, sealed and protected from light unless the batch documentation specifies otherwise. Intended use: laboratory research only.
Research context - KPV corresponds to the C-terminal tripeptide sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, commonly identified as alpha-MSH 11-13. Preclinical research has examined KPV in cell-based assays and animal models involving inflammatory signalling, cytokine pathways and epithelial transport. Published studies have also investigated whether KPV activity differs from that of full-length alpha-MSH and whether its observed effects are independent of classical melanocortin-receptor signalling. These findings are preclinical and do not establish safety, efficacy or an approved therapeutic use in humans. Genesis Peptides supplies KPV in lyophilised form to support compound stability during transport and storage.
Handling and storage - Store the sealed vial refrigerated at 2-8 degrees C and protect it from heat and light, unless the accompanying batch documentation specifies different conditions. Use aseptic laboratory technique and reconstitute only according to an established research protocol using an appropriate research-grade diluent. Reconstituted material has a materially shorter stable life than lyophilised powder. Keep reconstituted material refrigerated and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Compliance notice - This product is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption, veterinary use or therapeutic application. Not listed with the TGA. Genesis Peptides does not provide medical, therapeutic or clinical guidance.
