Laboratory handling
Supplied as a sealed lyophilized vial, cold-shipped with gel packs. Store at -20 degrees C, desiccated, and shield from direct light; the powder is moisture-sensitive and should not be left uncapped on the bench. All downstream handling, aliquoting and waste disposal must follow the receiving laboratory's own documented procedures.

This listing does not currently publish lot-specific analytical results. Request and review the applicable documentation before using the material in laboratory work.
Published literature
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from residues 11-13 of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, associated in published research with anti-inflammatory activity attributed to the parent hormone. In mouse models of induced colitis (dextran sodium sulfate and CD45RB-hi transfer models), researchers examined KPV's association with reduced colonic inflammatory infiltrate, lower myeloperoxidase activity, and recovery markers compared to control animals — effects reported even in mice lacking a functional melanocortin-1 receptor, suggesting a pathway distinct from classical MC1R signaling. A published review describes KPV and related alpha-MSH-derived fragments as a class of peptides examined in immunomodulatory research contexts. KPV has not completed human clinical trials and holds no regulatory approval for any use.
