KPV - 10MG
KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) corresponding to the C-terminal fragment, positions 11 to 13, of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). First identified through a 1988 patent on anti-inflammatory α-MSH-derived peptides, it has since become one of the more studied minimal-sequence fragments in melanocortin research.
Each vial ships with 10mg of KPV in lyophilized powder form for reconstitution, sealed for research use, backed by Phantom Peptides' internal verification standard: independent third-party lab analysis.
Product Specifications
- Compound: KPV
- Class: Melanocortin-derived tripeptide (α-MSH fragment)
- Sequence: Lys-Pro-Val
- Molecular Weight: ~342.4 Da
- Form: Lyophilized powder (for reconstitution)
- Bottle Size: 10mg per vial
Research Background
The existing literature on KPV spans a handful of distinct research threads:
- Anti-inflammatory and cytokine modulation research: cell and animal studies examining KPV's inhibition of NF-kB activation and its effect on pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1beta) and anti-inflammatory mediators (IL-10)
KPV was discovered by James Lipton's group and later characterized pharmacologically by Luger, Brzoska, and colleagues through the 2000s, work that established it as the smallest active fragment carrying α-MSH's anti-inflammatory pharmacophore. For primary sources, PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and NIH's PMC database (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) index the peer reviewed literature on KPV and related melanocortin peptide research.
Important Notice
Phantom Peptides supplies KPV strictly for laboratory research. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, and no dosage or administration guidance is provided. Any discussion of biological activity refers only to published preclinical or in vitro research.
Why buy from us
Every vial of KPV we ship is backed by third-party analytical testing and a certificate of analysis you can read before you order. We focus on a short list of research compounds so each one gets the attention it needs.
- Third-party verified. Each batch is tested by an independent laboratory for purity and identity.
- Published COAs. The report for the current batch is linked on this page.
- Consistent supply. Lyophilized, sealed and labeled with batch information for traceability.
- Real support. Questions about an order or a document? Our team answers from Charleston, SC.
Storage
Before reconstitution
Store the lyophilized powder at or below 8 °C in a dry place, away from light. For long-term storage, keep it frozen at −20 °C.
After reconstitution
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within 30 days. For longer preservation, aliquot and freeze at −20 °C, and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
Shipping
Orders ship from Charleston, SC with tracking on every package. Vials are packed to protect them in transit, and you can check estimated delivery times for your state on the shop page.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is KPV supplied as a lyophilized powder?
Yes. KPV ships as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, which removes moisture and helps keep the compound stable until it is reconstituted for research.
2. How is the purity of KPV verified?
Each batch is tested by an independent laboratory using HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity. The certificate of analysis for the current batch is linked on this page.
3. What does 99%+ HPLC purity mean?
High-performance liquid chromatography separates a sample into its components. A 99%+ result means the target compound makes up at least that percentage of the measured sample.
4. How should KPV be stored before reconstitution?
Keep the sealed vial at or below 8 °C in a dry place, away from light. For long-term storage, keep it frozen at −20 °C.
5. How long is KPV stable after reconstitution?
Refrigerated at 2–8 °C, use within 30 days. For longer preservation, aliquot and freeze at −20 °C and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
6. Can I see the COA before I order?
Yes. The full COA is available to download in the Certificate of Analysis section above, and on our COA page.
7. Is KPV intended for human use?
No. KPV is sold for laboratory research use only. It is not for human or veterinary consumption, and we do not provide dosage or administration guidance.
8. Where do orders ship from?
All orders ship from Charleston, SC with tracking.
