KPV is the lysine-proline-valine tripeptide from the tail of alpha-MSH. It keeps the hormone's anti-inflammatory activity without pigmentation effects, acting inside cells to calm NF-kB signalling.
Ships as one factory-sealed kit of ten individually capped vials from our specialty, immune & pigmentation collection, cold-chain packed with written order confirmation. Need the other size? Flip the toggle above.

About KPV 10mg
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (lysine-proline-valine) of alpha-MSH. It carries the anti-inflammatory activity of the parent hormone without the pigmentation or arousal effects, acting intracellularly to suppress NF-kB and pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling.
Gastrointestinal research is the most developed application, where oral delivery targets colonic inflammation directly; dermal and wound models are also common.
Available as a single vial or a factory-sealed kit of ten individually capped vials. Every order is packed cold with a written order confirmation and batch reference, so each vial can be traced back to its certificate of analysis.
Reported benefits in research
- Potent anti-inflammatory action via NF-kB suppression
- No pigmentation or arousal effects, unlike full alpha-MSH
- Studied in gastrointestinal inflammation and barrier-integrity models
- Antimicrobial and wound-healing endpoints
How to use it
- Allow the sealed vial to reach room temperature before opening; do not open a vial that is still cold.
- Wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol prep pad and let it dry.
- Draw the diluent volume called for in your protocol (bacteriostatic water for nearly all peptides, including GHK-Cu; dilute acetic acid water only for sequences that need a low pH, such as IGF-1 LR3) and inject it slowly against the inner glass wall of the vial.
- Swirl gently until fully clear — never shake, as agitation can fracture the peptide chain.
- Studied as a daily dose — oral or subcutaneous depending on the target tissue — across two-to-six-week blocks.
- Label the vial with the compound, concentration, and reconstitution date, then return it to refrigeration between uses.
What it’s studied for
- Gut and colonic inflammation models
- Skin and wound inflammation
- Cytokine signalling
Recommended protocol
Commonly studied as a once- or twice-daily dose over several weeks; oral and injectable routes both appear in the literature.
Storage & handling
Store lyophilized vials refrigerated (2–8°C) and protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep refrigerated and use within the window cited in your research protocol.
