KPV

Description

For Research Use Only. This product is supplied exclusively for laboratory research and is not intended for human or veterinary use.

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) Research Tripeptide

KPV is the tripeptide Lys-Pro-Val, corresponding to the C-terminal three residues of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It is used experimentally to investigate short-peptide transport and inflammatory-signalling pathways.

Published work is mainly cell based and animal based. The research does not establish a licensed treatment or a validated human-use protocol.

Technical Specifications

Independent Batch Testing

Every current ZENTRA KPV batch is independently tested and records an HPLC purity result above 99%. Use the batch number printed on the product label to locate the corresponding third-party report in our Batch Verification and COA Centre. Researchers should consult the individual report for the exact analytical methods, result and testing date for their supplied batch.

KPV Research Context

Experimental studies have examined KPV uptake through the PepT1 transporter and its effects on inflammatory markers in intestinal epithelial and immune-cell models. Delivery-system studies have also evaluated KPV in animal models of intestinal inflammation.

These experiments identify possible mechanisms and research tools; they do not prove clinical efficacy or safety in people.

Storage and Handling

Keep unopened lyophilised material at approximately -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C for short-term laboratory storage. Protect from light, moisture and repeated temperature changes.

KPV Research FAQs

What is KPV?

KPV is a three-amino-acid peptide made from lysine, proline and valine.

Where does the sequence come from?

It corresponds to the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-MSH.

What is the correct molecular weight?

The neutral tripeptide has a molecular weight of approximately 342.4 g/mol.

What research has examined KPV?

Published work has mainly examined peptide transport and inflammatory signalling in cell and animal models.

How is purity verified?

Each current batch is independently HPLC tested above 99%, with the report linked to its batch number.

Is KPV intended for human use?

No. It is supplied strictly for controlled laboratory research.
