KPV — The C-Terminal Fragment of alpha-MSH
KPV consists of just three amino acids: lysine, proline and valine. It corresponds to residues 11 to 13 of the hormone alpha-MSH, making it one of the smallest signalling peptides studied at all. Its small size makes it chemically stable and well characterisable.
KPV in Research
In cell models, KPV is studied in the context of inflammatory signalling pathways. Because the tripeptide is so small it can be dosed precisely across experimental series — provided the starting material is analytically clean.
Format & Reconstitution
KPV ships as a lyophilized powder in a sealed vial. Solvent compatibility, storage conditions and usable period depend on the formulation, experimental protocol, product label and batch-specific documentation.
Purity & Quality
Available analytical reports document the specific batch and test method stated in each report. The lab-reports page shows whether a report is published for the specific batch; unpublished testing must not be assumed. Use our laboratory calculator for concentration and laboratory-volume conversions.
The KPV Pen — Pre-filled Research Format
In the pen, KPV comes pre-dissolved and at a defined concentration — no reconstitution with bacteriostatic water required. You set the desired amount via the graduated dial, which makes experimental series easy to reproduce.
Cold-Chain Shipping
The pen contains the material in solution. Transport and storage conditions follow the product label and batch-specific documentation; shipping packaging is selected according to the requirements recorded for the variant.
Laboratory Handling & Dispensing
Before the first laboratory withdrawal the pen is briefly primed, after which you dial in the desired amount. A matching pen needle is always included.
| Amount | Clicks on dial |
|---|---|
| 1 mg | 30 |
| 2.5 mg | 75 (60 + 15) |
| 5 mg | 150 (60 + 60 + 30) |
| 7.5 mg | 225 (60 + 60 + 60 + 45) |
| 10 mg | 300 full pen |
The dial turns to a maximum of 60 clicks per setting — set larger amounts in several steps. For very small amounts, work out the exact clicks in the pen calculator.
