KPV

Properties

Product Details

Description:
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide with the amino acid sequence Lys-Pro-Val. It represents the C-terminal fragment of alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), an endogenously produced peptide hormone known for its pleiotropic activities.

In a research context, KPV is utilized to investigate the biological activities of α-MSH fragments, particularly in studies related to inflammatory pathways. Preclinical in vitro research often explores its interaction with cellular signaling cascades involved in the inflammatory response and its potential modulatory effects on cytokine expression in various cell models.

Intended Use

• This product is sold strictly for in vitro laboratory research and development purposes ONLY.
• It is NOT intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, diagnostics, therapeutic applications, or any other use outside of controlled laboratory research.
• KPV is an experimental peptide fragment. It has been a subject of scientific investigation in preclinical research settings (primarily in vitro studies and animal models) to explore its biological activities and mechanisms, often in contexts related to the known activities of its parent molecule, α-MSH.
• This product is NOT an FDA-approved drug, dietary supplement, or cosmetic.

Handling and Storage

• Storage: Store lyophilized product at −20°C to −80°C. Protect from moisture and light. Store reconstituted product at 2°C to 8°C (standard refrigerator temperature).
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute with appropriate sterile laboratory solvents (e.g., sterile water, bacteriostatic water) immediately prior to research use, following established laboratory protocols for peptide handling.
• Safety: Handle using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, lab coat, and eye protection, within a controlled laboratory environment.

Quality Assurance

• Our KPV peptide is synthesized to high purity specifications, verified by analytical methods such as HPLC and Mass Spectrometry. Purity and content is verified for every batch through third party testing.
