KPV
Inflammation-research peptide
KPV is a very short peptide made of just three amino acids: lysine, proline and valine. This trio is the tail end of a larger natural signaling molecule the body makes, called alpha-MSH.
Also known as Lysine-Proline-Valine · Lys-Pro-Val · alpha-MSH (11-13)
How it is studied
In lab and animal studies, it is tied to one of the body's natural inflammation-control switches — a signaling system cells use to turn inflammation-related activity up or down. Researchers use KPV as a small tool to study that switch.
Research context
A reference compound in early inflammation and gut-biology research, where scientists study these inflammation-control signals in cell and animal studies.
Good to know
Findings are mostly early-stage. Research use only.
Research area
Tissue-repair research. This group covers peptides that scientists study in the lab to learn how cells and connective tissue behave in controlled models. In cell samples and animal studies, researchers use them to explore cell movement, new-vessel formation, and inflammation-signaling. All are research compounds for laboratory use only, with no established use in people.
Strengths and availability
Single vials in stock: 30mg. Other listed strengths: 10mg, in stock. 10-vial kit prices are for wholesale members; the shop sells single vials and research bundles.
Certificates of analysis
We publish 1 third-party certificate of analysis for KPV (Janoshik). A certificate covers only the lot it was run on. Each report is also verifiable at the lab itself.
