Research Overview
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide corresponding to the conserved C-terminal KPV motif of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), investigated in preclinical research as a tool for probing melanocortin receptor interactions and intracellular NF-κB pathway signalling in intestinal epithelial cell models. Research has also explored KPV's involvement in wound healing biology and mucosal tissue physiology, placing it within a broader programme of melanocortin-derived peptide research. BME Health supplies KPV as a lyophilized high-purity research tripeptide in 5mg and 10mg formats. Supplied exclusively for laboratory and research use.
Preclinical cell-based studies have investigated KPV as a pharmacological tool to probe melanocortin receptor binding and downstream NF-κB signalling suppression in intestinal epithelial model systems, with research examining pro-inflammatory cytokine production parameters in stimulated cell preparations. Studies have also explored KPV's potential involvement in wound healing-related signalling and mucosal tissue biology in cell and animal-based research. As a C-terminal α-MSH fragment, KPV provides a minimal functional unit for comparative melanocortin biology research. All outcomes referenced do not constitute evidence of clinical efficacy or safety in humans.

COA / Testing
Batch documentation and third-party testing information are available for batch BME-KPV10M-A. COA previews appear only when documentation exists for the active batch.
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized KPV at −20°C in a sealed container, protected from moisture and light. As a short tripeptide, KPV is relatively stable in lyophilized form but should not be exposed to repeated thermal cycling after reconstitution. Prepare working solutions as required for each experimental session to maintain compound integrity.
