KPV is a small tripeptide made up of the amino acids lysine, proline and valine — the tail end of the body's own hormone α-MSH. In research it is known as an anti-inflammatory: it is studied mainly around inflammatory processes in the gut and the skin. At GradePurity you buy it as a research-grade vial: ≥99% HPLC purity and same-day shipping from the Netherlands. It is explicitly a research raw material for the lab, not for human use.

What does KPV do?

In research, KPV is all about one thing: calming inflammation. It is a small tripeptide — lysine, proline and valine — that forms the tail end of the body's own hormone α-MSH, which has long been known for its anti-inflammatory side. KPV is thought to carry that side with it: it calms inflammatory signals and is therefore looked at mainly around the gut and the skin, where inflammation plays a big role. At GradePurity you buy it purely as a research raw material, not for use in humans.

How does KPV work?

What is special about KPV is where it acts. Where many compounds work only on the outside of the cell, KPV is thought to enter the cell itself and slow the inflammatory machinery there — chiefly the NF-κB pathway, a central switch that drives the production of pro-inflammatory messengers (cytokines). Because it is small and stable, it is also taken up easily by cells. Most of what we know comes from lab and animal models. GradePurity supplies KPV for research only.

KPV and the hormone α-MSH

KPV isn't a standalone find but a fragment of something larger: it is the C-terminal piece of α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone), hence the synonym name α-MSH(11-13). It is precisely that tail piece that carries the anti-inflammatory action in research, without the pigment and appetite effects you see with full α-MSH or with related peptides. In the literature KPV is therefore often described as "the anti-inflammatory part" of α-MSH. We supply it as a research-grade vial.

KPV in gut and skin inflammation

Two research areas keep coming up with KPV: the gut and the skin. In gut models the focus is on inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, where KPV is taken up through the gut wall. In skin models it is about inflammation-related conditions and wound healing. In both cases the idea is the same: bring local inflammation down. This is explicitly pre-clinical and early research; GradePurity supplies KPV for the lab only, not as a treatment.

KPV dosage

We deliberately leave the amount open: KPV is a research compound, and we don't provide human dosing advice. In the literature it is usually studied in small amounts per protocol, after reconstitution with bacteriostatic water. Need to convert amounts for a research setup? We have a dedicated calculator for that. Keep the reconstituted peptide refrigerated and use it within the recommended window.

KPV side effects

KPV is known in research for a favourable profile — in keeping with its small size and its origin as a fragment of a natural hormone. In the studies that have been done, mostly mild reactions were reported. The honest caveat remains: large long-term data in humans is lacking, and effects depend heavily on the study design. GradePurity supplies KPV for research only.

Is KPV legal?

In the Netherlands you may buy and sell KPV for experimental laboratory research that isn't applied to humans or animals. It's not a medicine: no KPV product is approved for human use anywhere, and it isn't prescribed. We therefore supply it strictly as a research-grade compound, not as a medicine or supplement.

Purity & lab testing

With a peptide, reliable research hinges on one thing: knowing the vial contains what the label says. That's why we test every batch of KPV by HPLC for ≥99% purity and for identity, with a COA per lot, and ship it freeze-dried so it reaches you stable. That way you know exactly what you're holding — the exact specifications are in the table at the bottom of this page.
