Description
KPV — Research Peptide
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide referenced in the scientific literature as the C-terminal three-amino-acid fragment of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Composed of the sequence lysine–proline–valine, it is studied within the broader category of inflammatory signaling and immunomodulatory research peptides. DISSOLV LABS supplies KPV as a 10 mg lyophilized vial — a high-purity analytical reference compound for qualified laboratory research professionals.
Purity: ≥99% (HPLC-MS verified)
Format: 10 mg lyophilized vial
Designation: Research use only — not intended for human or veterinary use
Compound Overview
KPV is the tripeptide sequence Lys-Pro-Val, corresponding to the C-terminal three residues (positions 11–13) of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Within the published literature, KPV is classified as an α-MSH-derived signaling tripeptide and is studied as a reference compound for research involving inflammatory pathway modulation, NF-κB signaling, and cytokine expression profiling.
KPV is structurally and mechanistically distinct from larger regenerative peptides such as BPC-157 and TB-500, and from copper-binding tripeptides such as GHK-Cu. Within the Recovery research peptide category, KPV occupies a unique position as the principal α-MSH-derived tripeptide reference standard for inflammatory signaling pathway research.
Research Context
KPV has been investigated in published preclinical research and is commonly referenced in laboratory work involving:
- NF-κB signaling pathway research
- Cytokine expression and inflammatory mediator profiling
- Melanocortin pathway and α-MSH fragment structure–activity research

Frequently Asked Questions
What is KPV?
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide referenced in scientific literature as the C-terminal three-amino-acid fragment of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is composed of the sequence lysine-proline-valine and is studied within the broader category of inflammatory signaling and immunomodulatory research peptides. Supplied by DISSOLV LABS as an analytical reference compound for laboratory research use only.
What does KPV stand for?
KPV refers to the tripeptide sequence Lysine–Proline–Valine, using the single-letter amino acid codes K (Lys), P (Pro), and V (Val). It is also referenced in the literature as α-MSH (11–13), denoting its position as the C-terminal residues of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.
What is the amino acid sequence of KPV?
The peptide is composed of three amino acids in sequence: lysine, proline, and valine (Lys-Pro-Val), corresponding to positions 11, 12, and 13 of the parent α-MSH peptide.
What is the relationship between KPV and α-MSH?
α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a naturally occurring 13-amino-acid peptide. KPV represents the C-terminal three-residue fragment of α-MSH (positions 11–13) and is studied in the literature as a minimal active sequence within the α-MSH structure–activity framework.
What vial size is available?
DISSOLV LABS supplies KPV as a 10 mg lyophilized vial (catalog DSL-KPV-010), produced from ≥99% purity reference material and accompanied by a per-lot Certificate of Analysis.
What category does KPV belong to?
KPV is classified within the α-MSH-derived signaling tripeptide family and studied as the principal α-MSH-derived tripeptide reference compound within the broader Recovery research peptide category. It is referenced alongside BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu in regenerative and inflammatory pathway research literature.
How does KPV differ from BPC-157 and TB-500?
In published research literature, KPV is described as an α-MSH-derived tripeptide studied in inflammatory signaling and NF-κB pathway research; BPC-157 is a body protection compound-derived pentadecapeptide studied in connective tissue and gastrointestinal pathway research; and TB-500 is a Thymosin Beta-4 active fragment studied in actin-binding and cellular migration research. Each compound occupies a distinct position within the broader Recovery research peptide category.
How does KPV differ from GHK-Cu?
KPV and GHK-Cu are both tripeptides studied within the Recovery research category, but they are structurally and mechanistically distinct. KPV is an α-MSH-derived tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) studied in inflammatory signaling research, while GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys + Cu²⁺) studied in extracellular matrix and dermal remodeling research.
