KPV

α-MSH Tripeptide Fragment

5 mg99% purityHPLC verified

The C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, studied in inflammatory-signaling and mucosal research models.

What is KPV?

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (lysine-proline-valine) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It carries the anti-inflammatory signalling of the parent hormone without its melanocortin-receptor activity, which is why it appears in mucosal and inflammatory-signalling literature rather than in pigmentation work.

Research context

  • Inflammatory signaling
  • Mucosal research
  • NF-kB pathway studies

COA match guarantee — if the vial you receive does not match the certificate published for its batch, we replace or refund it. Unopened vials in original packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery.

A batch that misses specification is not listed and is not shipped. We publish every result we commission, including the ones that send a batch back.

Chromatogram and mass-spectrometry data for this compound are available on request.

Analytical Method

Four checks stand between synthesis and a listing.

Every lot in this catalog clears the same sequence. The dates below belong to batch GLP3-10-2026-01 an example of a released lot. Certificates for other products are added as testing completes.

  1. 01

    Synthesis and fill

    Lyophilized to specification and sealed under controlled conditions, one lot at a time.

    Lot GLP3-10-2026-01

  2. 02

    Chromatographic purity

    RP-HPLC with UV detection at 220 nm — the peptide-bond absorbance, so every residue in the sequence contributes to the signal. Release specification ≥ 98.0%.

    Result 99.4%

  3. 03

    Identity confirmation

    LC-MS (ESI) measures the molecular mass of the eluting species against the theoretical mass of the intended sequence. A lot can be pure and still be the wrong peptide; running both methods closes that gap.

    Confirmed

  4. 04

    Release

    Purity, identity, appearance, peptide content, water, acetate and endotoxins all within specification. Released for sale.

When a batch does not clear

It is not listed and it is not shipped. We publish every result we commission, including the ones that send a batch back. A batch earns a product page only after identity and purity have both passed.

Analytes on the record

  • HPLC Purity≥ 98.0%
  • Mass SpectrometryMatches Structure

Chromatographic purity and peptide content answer different questions. Purity is the share of peptide-related material that is the target sequence. Peptide content is how much of the vial's mass is peptide at all, the remainder being acetate counterion and residual water — a normal lyophilized acetate salt, not a discrepancy.

Analysis is performed by JanoShield Analytical, an independent laboratory with no commercial interest in the result.

Common questions

What is KPV?

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (lysine-proline-valine) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It carries the anti-inflammatory signalling of the parent hormone without its melanocortin-receptor activity, which is why it appears in mucosal and inflammatory-signalling literature rather than in pigmentation work.

How is KPV purity verified?

Every lot is assayed by third-party hplc and mass spectrometry, per batch: RP-HPLC at 220 nm establishes chromatographic purity against a 99% release specification, and LC-MS confirms molecular identity against the reference mass. The batch currently shipping is RV-KPV-2605, and its full certificate — including methods, specifications, measured results, and the testing laboratory — is published at https://rovapeptides.com/coas/RV-KPV-2605.

How should KPV be stored and handled?

Lyophilized powder, sealed vial. Store lyophilized at -20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Refrigerate after reconstitution. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water in a controlled laboratory setting; swirl gently rather than shaking to preserve peptide structure.

What strengths of KPV are available?

KPV is supplied in 5 mg. Each presentation is filled from a tested lot and ships with its own batch number, so the certificate you retrieve always corresponds to the vial in your hand.

Is KPV intended for human use?

No. KPV is supplied strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research use. It is not intended for human or veterinary consumption, diagnostic use, or therapeutic use, and RovaPeptides provides no dosing, protocol, or usage guidance.
