Common questions
The KPV peptide is the tripeptide lysine-proline-valine (Lys-Pro-Val, CAS 67727-97-3), the C-terminal end of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Our KPV research guide covers the published studies.
Yes. KLOW 80 combines the KPV peptide with GHK-Cu, BPC-157 and TB-500 in one vial. This listing is KPV 10mg on its own.

Lyophilized powder keeps at −20 °C for long-term storage or 2–8 °C short-term. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2–8 °C and keep it out of light. Our reconstitution guide covers the full process.
KPV 10 mg, α-MSH-Derived Tripeptide Research Compound
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment (residues 11–13) of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a frequent subject of preclinical and laboratory investigation into inflammatory-signaling, epithelial-barrier, and antimicrobial-peptide research. Lumen Research supplies KPV as a high-purity lyophilized powder intended exclusively for in-vitro research and laboratory study.
About KPV
KPV retains the terminal Lys-Pro-Val sequence of α-MSH while lacking the receptor-binding region associated with pigmentation, which is why it is widely used as a research tool for separating melanocortin anti-inflammatory signaling from pigmentary activity. Published research is indexed in the peer-reviewed scientific literature.
KPV Research Applications
In laboratory and preclinical settings, this peptide is studied across several areas of interest:
Inflammatory-signaling research: examined in NF-κB and pro-inflammatory cytokine pathway models.
Epithelial & gut-barrier research: investigated in intestinal epithelial cell models.
Antimicrobial-peptide research: studied for activity against microbial cultures in vitro.
Wound & tissue-model research: explored in cell-culture repair assays.
These describe areas of ongoing scientific investigation only, this compound is not a therapeutic or cosmetic product and no clinical outcomes are implied.
