KPV is a tripeptide representing the C-terminal fragment of alpha-MSH (α-MSH 11-13), studied in academic literature since the 1990s. More than 50 independent publications are dedicated to it in the PubMed database. As one of the shortest bioactive peptide fragments, it belongs to the group of molecules studied in the field of peptide pharmacology.
In academic literature, KPV most frequently appears in the context of peptide pharmacology and in-vitro immunochemical research – as a subject of study for short peptide sequences and their interactions with cellular receptors. Scientific teams study it in models focused on structure-activity relationships of short peptides.
In the laboratory, it is used as a reference analytical standard – for HPLC calibration, mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and comparative binding experiments. Cerebrotech supplies it as a lyophilized powder in a glass vial with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), with HPLC-verified purity ≥ 98%. A mass spectrum is available upon request for each batch.
A compatible solvent for reconstitution – bacteriostatic water – is available separately in our catalog. The product is intended exclusively for laboratory in-vitro research, biochemical analysis, and academic purposes. It is not a medicine, food supplement, or cosmetic product. It is not intended for human or animal consumption, application to the body surface, ingestion, or inhalation. Sales are subject to age verification of 18+.
