About the compound
What is KPV?
KPV is a tripeptide made up of the amino acids lysine, proline and valine, corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of the larger hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It carries CAS number 67727-97-3 and a molecular weight of 342.43. Sova supplies KPV UK as a 10mg research vial, prepared as a lyophilised powder for controlled laboratory investigation by qualified researchers.
As the terminal Lys-Pro-Val sequence of alpha-MSH, KPV retains part of the parent hormone's activity while lacking the melanocortin-receptor pigmentation region. Research characterisation has focused on how the short peptide interacts with intracellular signalling in immune and epithelial cells, and it is one of the constituent peptides combined in the KLOW research blend alongside other regenerative-research fragments.
In the research literature KPV is investigated for anti-inflammatory and immune-signalling activity. Laboratory studies examine its effect on pro-inflammatory pathways such as NF-kappaB signalling and cytokine expression in cultured cells, and explore models of mucosal and epithelial inflammation. Its small size and stability make it a frequent subject in peptide immunomodulation research.
Each batch of Sova KPV is verified by reverse-phase HPLC for identity and purity and by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm molecular weight, with results documented on a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis. Store the sealed vial cool, dry and away from light, frozen for long-term storage and refrigerated once reconstituted. This product is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

FAQ
KPV, answered.
What is KPV?
+
KPV is a tripeptide composed of lysine, proline and valine (Lys-Pro-Val), representing the C-terminal fragment of the hormone alpha-MSH. It carries CAS number 67727-97-3 and a molecular weight of 342.43, and Sova supplies it as a 10mg lyophilised research vial.
Is KPV legal to buy in the UK?
+
KPV is supplied in the UK exclusively as a research chemical for laboratory use only. It is not a medicine, supplement or food, and it is not intended for human or veterinary administration. Purchasers take responsibility for compliant handling, storage and use in a research setting.
What is KPV studied for?
+
KPV is investigated in research for anti-inflammatory and immune-signalling activity. Studies examine its influence on pathways such as NF-kappaB and on cytokine expression in cultured cells, along with models of mucosal and epithelial inflammation, making it a common subject in peptide immunomodulation research.
How is Sova's KPV verified?
+
Sova verifies each KPV batch with reverse-phase HPLC to confirm identity and purity and ESI mass spectrometry to check the molecular weight. The results are recorded on a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis, meaning every vial can be traced to its own supporting analytical data.
How should KPV be stored?
+
Keep the lyophilised KPV vial sealed, cool, dry and shielded from light, with freezing advised for long-term storage. After reconstitution for research use, store it refrigerated and limit freeze-thaw cycles to maintain stability. Always follow your laboratory's established handling procedures.
What is the KLOW blend that contains KPV?
+
KLOW is a research blend that combines several peptide fragments, with KPV included as its anti-inflammatory-studied component. In that context KPV is investigated alongside other regenerative-research peptides, though Sova also supplies it individually as a single 10mg vial for isolated laboratory study.
