KPV Peptide (10mg) for Laboratory Research

Q: Can KPV peptide be bought online for laboratory research?

Yes. KPV can be ordered directly from this product page by qualified purchasers using it for in vitro or preclinical research. Orders are placed through the standard checkout, and buyers confirm at checkout that they are 21 or older and are acquiring the material for research use only, not for human or animal consumption.

Q: What size and format is this KPV listing for sale in?

This listing supplies KPV as 10mg of lyophilized peptide powder in a sealed multi-dose vial. The powder requires reconstitution with a suitable solvent by the researcher before use in laboratory work. Bacteriostatic water is stocked separately and is not included in the vial packaging for this item.

Q: Where can the KPV COA for the current lot be found?

A certificate of analysis is published for every lot in the Lab Results section of this site, organized by compound and lot number. The KPV certificate for the lot currently in stock can be reviewed before purchase, and the lot identifier printed on the vial label can be matched against the published document on arrival.

Q: How is the purity of this KPV peptide verified?

Each production batch is submitted to an independent third-party analytical laboratory for testing rather than relying on supplier documentation alone. The laboratory reports identity and purity data, and that report is published as the lot certificate on this site. The reported figure for the batch in stock appears on the certificate itself rather than in marketing copy.

Q: Who is eligible to order KPV from Real Peptides?

Purchasers must be 21 or older and must confirm that the material is intended solely for laboratory research. No institutional affiliation, licence or professional credential is required to place an order. Real Peptides is a chemical supplier, not a compounding pharmacy, and the compounds listed are not drugs, supplements or cosmetics.

Q: How quickly does KPV ship and from where?

KPV in stock ships within 24 hours of the order being placed, dispatched from fulfillment facilities in Florida and California. Shipping from two US locations shortens domestic transit times. Tracking details are issued by email once the parcel leaves the facility, and vials are packed to protect the lyophilized powder in transit.

Q: How should KPV be stored once the shipment arrives?

Lyophilized KPV is typically kept sealed, cold and away from light and moisture, following the handling notes on the product label and lot certificate. Laboratories generally record the lot number and receipt date for their own records. Storage and handling decisions are the responsibility of the receiving research facility.

Q: Is KPV approved for use in humans?

No. KPV supplied here is a research chemical intended exclusively for laboratory investigation. It is not approved as a drug, dietary supplement or cosmetic, is not evaluated for diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any condition, and is not intended for human or veterinary administration under any circumstances.

KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide (lysine-proline-valine) corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, and it is used in vitro and in preclinical models as a research tool for studying inflammatory signaling, epithelial barrier function and tissue-repair pathways.

Real Peptides supplies KPV as a 10mg lyophilized powder in a sealed multi-dose vial. Purity and identity are verified by an independent analytical laboratory, and the certificate of analysis for the current lot is published in the Lab Results section so it can be reviewed before purchase. Orders ship from facilities in Florida and California within 24 hours of order placement. This material is sold strictly for laboratory research use and is not for human or veterinary use.

AboutLab reportSpecificationsQuestions

Finished in the USA

99% Pure | Multi Dose

KPV peptide (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally derived tripeptide used to study anti-inflammatory and tissue-repair pathways in preclinical models. In macrophage, keratinocyte, and ex vivo skin assays, KPV modulates cytokine release, accelerates wound closure, and supports barrier recovery. Each 10 mg vial is HPLC-verified to ≥ 99% purity, endotoxin-screened (< 0.1 EU/mg), and ideal for your in vitro and in vivo research.

What Is KPV Peptide?

KPV peptide (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide fragment derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, prized in research for its cell-level anti-inflammatory and tissue-repair actions. In controlled lab settings—covering macrophage, keratinocyte, endothelial, and neural-glial models—KPV probes how cytokines, cell migration, and barrier function interact during inflammation and healing.

Why Choose KPV Peptide?

Researchers choose KPV peptides when they need a high-precision tool to model inflammation resolution and barrier restoration. Its rapid cellular uptake and clear dose–response make it ideal for scratch assays, cytokine profiling, and barrier studies. Manufactured and verified to ≥ 99% purity—each batch is endotoxin-screened (< 0.1 EU/mg)—ensuring consistent, reproducible data for KPV peptide research.

What Sets KPV Peptide Apart?

Unlike broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory agents, KPV peptide acts through a specific Lys-Pro-Val sequence to simultaneously modulate immune and epithelial cell functions. Its dual capacity to induce antioxidant enzymes, suppress pro-inflammatory mediators, and accelerate barrier repair in ex vivo explants makes KPV a uniquely versatile reagent for integrated skin, neural, and vascular inflammation research.

Research observations

Cytokine Modulation

KPV peptide downregulates IL-1β and TNF-α in macrophage assays, modeling key kpv peptide findings in inflammation-resolution research.

Accelerated Wound Closure

In scratch assays, KPV enhances keratinocyte migration—reducing gap closure time by up to 50%.

Barrier-Function Support

Ex vivo skin explants treated with KPV show faster transepidermal water-loss recovery, aiding barrier-integrity studies.

Antioxidant Enzyme Induction

KPV boosts superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase in oxidative-stress models, extending cellular resilience.

Neuroinflammation Modeling

In neural-glial co-cultures, KPV attenuates microglial activation, offering a tool for CNS inflammation research.

Lab-Friendly Prep & Storage

Reconstitute KPV in Sterile Water for Injection (SWFI) or Bacteriostatic Water (BAC). Store lyophilized at –20 °C; keep reconstituted solution at 2–8 °C for up to 7 days to maintain ≥ 98% integrity.
