KPV Peptide: 10 mg Research Vials
This listing is for a standalone KPV research vial with a nominal 10 mg label amount. Quantity 1 means one vial, not a blend or a multi-vial kit. Use the price and stock status above for the current offer, then check the lot record before placing your laboratory order.
What am I buying when I order KPV?
A KPV vial, supplied separately from the other peptides in the catalog. If your purchasing list calls for KPV alone, a blend that includes KPV is not the same order. The scientific description below covers KPV’s identity and reference literature.
Why can the COA show more or less than 10 mg?
10 mg is the nominal vial size. Reported content is the laboratory’s measured amount for the sample it tested. Read that value separately from chromatographic purity, and match the report’s lot number to the vial you receive.
Which KPV test results can I review before buying?
Open View COA in the lot records above. Check the KPV identity result, measured content, purity and any additional tests listed on that report. Each result belongs to its named sample and lot; it should not be carried over to a different batch.
KPV Research Peptide Reference Material
ANALYTICAL REFERENCE STANDARD: Synthesized tripeptide sequence supplied for in vitro assay development, biochemical pathway mapping, and preclinical evaluation. Baseline purity threshold ≥99% verified via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Strictly for laboratory research use only.
Molecular Structure & Background Hierarchy
KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide fragment with the molecular formula C₁₆H₃₀N₄O₄. It corresponds to the specific amino acid sequence Lys-Pro-Val. This sequence is derived from alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), a peptide known for its role in pigmentation and energy homeostasis. However, the KPV fragment is distinct in that it does not bind to the melanocortin receptors responsible for melanogenesis, allowing researchers to study its anti-inflammatory potential in isolation.
NF-κB Signaling & Cellular Transport Mechanics
Scientific studies focus extensively on KPV’s ability to modulate the NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) signaling pathway. In laboratory models, KPV has been observed to translocate into cells via the PepT1 peptide transporter, where it may downregulate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This molecular mechanism is of particular interest in research models evaluating structural gut wall integrity, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and experimental colitis.
Antimicrobial & Cutaneous Investigation Vectors
Additionally, KPV is investigated for its potential antimicrobial activity. Studies suggest that the peptide may disrupt the structural integrity of fungal and bacterial cell membranes. In dermatological research, KPV is utilized to examine epithelial wound healing rates and the reduction of contact dermatitis, promoting the study of peptide-based modulation of the host immune response without the variables or side effects associated with traditional steroidal compounds.
LABORATORY COMPLIANCE DIRECTIVE: This product is strictly for laboratory and research purposes only. KPV is not intended for human use, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures. It serves as an analytical reagent for scientific study and method validation.
