About KPV

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, supplied as a lyophilised research compound. This melanocortin tripeptide is used in cell-based and biochemical model systems to examine peptide-fragment pharmacology, receptor-adjacent signalling and structure-activity relationships alongside full-length melanocortin reagents.

Why researchers choose Avanti Peptides KPV: Tripeptides are cheap to make badly — this material is released only after identity, purity and appearance testing, so what is on the label is what is in the vial.

Key features of KPV

  • Melanocortin-derived tripeptide (3-amino-acid)
  • Sequence: Lys-Pro-Val (3 amino acids)
  • Lyophilised solid — stable, easy to store, straightforward to reconstitute
  • Unit size: 10 mg / vial
  • Every batch released only after identity, purity, and appearance QC
  • Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and batch documentation available on request

Reconstituting and storing KPV

  1. Before reconstitution: Store lyophilised vials at 2–8 °C, protected from light and moisture.
  2. Equilibrate: Allow vial and diluent to reach room temperature before opening.
  3. Reconstitute: Add Bacteriostatic Water (10 ml recommended). Swirl gently — do not vortex.
  4. After reconstitution: Store at 2–8 °C. Prepare aliquots to minimise freeze–thaw cycles.
  5. Compatibility: Use only within protocols that comply with your institution’s SOPs and local regulations.

KPV in research

Researchers use KPV to explore how minimal peptide fragments behave in model systems, to assess signalling readouts that do not require the full α-MSH sequence, and to compare structure-activity relationships across the melanocortin family. Its very small size means this melanocortin tripeptide dissolves readily and diffuses quickly in culture, which suits short-timepoint assay designs.

Synthesis and quality assurance

Avanti Peptides manufactures KPV via controlled, validated solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity verification, HPLC purity analysis (≥99%), and appearance inspection before release.

Frequently asked questions about KPV

What is KPV?
KPV is a 3-amino-acid peptide (sequence: Lys-Pro-Val). It is used exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research. See the product overview above for full context.
How should I store the peptide?
Store lyophilised vials at 2–8 °C, away from light and moisture. After reconstitution, keep at 2–8 °C and use aliquots to minimise freeze–thaw cycles.
What diluent should I use for reconstitution?
Most laboratories use Bacteriostatic Water (10 ml). Always follow your lab’s standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the specific assay.
Do you provide batch documentation / Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. Batch documentation including test results (CoA) is available on request. If it is not attached to your order confirmation, contact our support team and we will add it immediately.
Is this product intended for human use?
No. This material is strictly for laboratory research only and is not intended for human consumption, clinical application, or veterinary use.
