KPV is a tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone studied in inflammatory-signalling research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKPV is three residues, lysine-proline-valine, with a molecular weight of 342.43. The name is simply the single-letter code for those amino acids, and the sequence corresponds to the last three residues of alpha-MSH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with a fragment this short answers a specific question: how much of a parent hormone’s described signalling survives when almost all of the molecule is removed. Alpha-MSH runs to thirteen residues, so KPV retains less than a quarter of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritically, the fragment does not carry the pigmentation-associated role of the full hormone. Separating those two described properties is the main reason the tripeptide is studied on its own rather than only as part of the intact sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey research areas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInflammatory-pathway and cytokine signalling models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragment-versus-parent hormone comparative research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpithelial and intestinal barrier studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal-sequence peptide design research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmune-signalling assays in cell culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 vial, 3 vials, or 10 pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e C16H30N4O4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 342.43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSequence:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lys-Pro-Val\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOther KPV formats and where it appears\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKPV is also stocked as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kpv-capsules\"\u003eKPV capsules\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kpv-nasal-spray\"\u003eKPV nasal spray\u003c\/a\u003e, and is combined with a second sequence in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bpc157-kpv-capsules\"\u003eBPC-157 and KPV capsules\u003c\/a\u003e.
