Overview

An anti-inflammatory tripeptide fragment.

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for anti-inflammatory activity that appears largely independent of melanocortin receptor activation. Its small size allows efficient cell-membrane penetration to modulate intracellular inflammatory signaling.

Suria's KPV is manufactured for high-purity peptide research, with analytical documentation to be made available through Suria's Batch Documentation system, supporting consistent results across inflammatory signaling and tissue-repair research models.

Research Highlights

Why researchers study it.

Inflammatory-Signaling Research

Studied in experimental models examining inflammatory signaling, including NF-κB-associated pathways.

Barrier & Tissue Models

Examined in preclinical epithelial, mucosal, and tissue-response models.

Membrane Permeability

A compact tripeptide used to investigate structure-dependent cellular and signaling effects.

Established Literature

Referenced across two decades of inflammatory-pathway research.

Storage

Handled the way research deserves.

Lyophilized vials

Store as specified above, protected from light and moisture, until ready for reconstitution.

Reconstituted solution

Store at 2–8°C and use within the laboratory's established handling window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know before you order.

How is it shipped?
Orders are packaged with care and shipped using protective, secure methods designed to help each vial arrive in excellent condition.
How should it be stored?
Store lyophilized vials as specified above, away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the laboratory's established handling window.
Is this for human consumption?
No. KPV is sold strictly for laboratory and scientific research use. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, and is not a drug, dietary supplement, or food.
Why does purity matter?
Purity directly affects the reliability of research outcomes. Available analytical documentation, labelled with who issued it, can be reviewed for applicable batches through Suria's Batch Documentation system.
