MOLECULAR PROFILE

What Is KPV?

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Vorix Labs supplies KPV as a research catalog item with Janoshik Analytical batch CoA documentation and USA warehouse fulfillment. Laboratory / in-vitro use only — not for human or veterinary use.

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It retains alpha-MSH's anti-inflammatory activity in a minimal sequence, with mechanistic studies pointing to NF-κB suppression and modulation of mast-cell degranulation. Used in research models of inflammatory bowel disease, dermatitis, and ocular inflammation.

KPV is a short tripeptide researched in dermal and inflammatory-signaling models. Optimized for “buy KPV peptide” and research-grade CoA sourcing.
