The Lys-Pro-Val C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-MSH for melanocortin-derived signalling research.
KPV is Lys-Pro-Val, corresponding to residues 11-13 at the C-terminus of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is a distinct three-residue research peptide rather than full-length alpha-MSH.
Research has focused on cell and animal models of inflammatory signalling, epithelial biology and melanocortin-related pathways. Its shortened sequence does not reproduce every property or receptor interaction of full-length alpha-MSH.

Compound identifiers describe the named reference molecule. The actual vial must always be checked against its label, certificate and safety documentation.

Results from KPV, alpha-MSH and other melanocortin analogues should not be treated as interchangeable.
Registry values can differ by salt, counter-ion, hydrate, charge state or supplier representation. The lot certificate takes precedence.
Keep the sealed lyophilised material dry, protected from light and tightly closed.
For longer-term laboratory storage, -20°C is a commonly used condition for peptide reference materials; short-term requirements vary by sequence and formulation.
After preparing a laboratory solution, minimise time at room temperature and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The lot-specific label, CoA and SDS take priority over general guidance.
No purity, origin or third-party-testing figure is claimed until Auren has a verified report for the specific released lot.
