Overview

An anti-inflammatory tripeptide fragment.

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for anti-inflammatory activity that appears largely independent of melanocortin receptor activation. Its small size allows efficient cell-membrane penetration to modulate intracellular inflammatory signaling.

Suria's KPV is synthesized to high purity and independently verified prior to release, supporting consistent results across inflammatory signaling and tissue-repair research models.

Research Highlights

Why researchers study it.

Anti-Inflammatory Signaling

Studied for NF-κB pathway suppression independent of melanocortin receptor activity.

Tissue Repair

Examined in wound-healing and mucosal-inflammation research models.

Membrane Permeability

A compact tripeptide structure that readily penetrates cell membranes.

Established Literature

Referenced across two decades of inflammatory-pathway research.

Storage

Handled the way research deserves.

Lyophilized vials

Store as specified above, protected from light and moisture, until ready for reconstitution.

Reconstituted solution

Store at 2–8°C and use within the recommended window for your protocol.

Handling

Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to help preserve peptide integrity across a research protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know before you order.

How is it shipped?
Orders are packaged with care and shipped using protective, secure methods designed to help each vial arrive in excellent condition.
How should it be stored?
Store lyophilized vials as specified above, away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within your protocol's recommended window.
Is this for human consumption?
No. KPV is sold strictly for laboratory and scientific research use. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, and is not a drug, dietary supplement, or food.
Why does purity matter?
Purity directly affects the reliability of research outcomes. Available third-party analytical documentation can be reviewed for applicable batches through Suria's Batch Documentation system.
