KPV 10MG

KPV Peptide Research Overview

KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It consists of the C-terminal amino acid sequence of alpha-MSH and has been the subject of research investigating its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.

Mechanism of Action

KPV research has focused on its interaction with melanocortin receptors and downstream signaling pathways. Studies have examined its effects on NF-kB signaling, a key regulator of inflammatory gene expression. In vitro and animal model research has investigated KPV in the context of intestinal inflammation, wound healing, and immune cell modulation.

Research Applications

Published research on KPV has explored its potential in models of inflammatory bowel conditions, skin inflammation, and antimicrobial activity. The peptide has been studied in both cell culture and animal models across multiple research institutions.

About this KPV reference material

KPV is supplied by Maple Research Labs as a lyophilised powder in a sealed vial under catalogue reference KPV-10MG. Every vial is drawn from a single production batch and is released only against a batch-specific certificate of analysis. The batch documented for this listing was tested by Testides Analytical, an independent third-party laboratory, and the report reference is shown in the specification above.

Analytical specification for this KPV batch

Identity and purity were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) and reported at 98.70%. The material is registered under CAS 67727-97-3, molecular formula C16H30N4O5. HPLC-UV separates the target compound from related substances and process impurities and quantifies each as a percentage of total peak area, which is why the result is stated to two decimal places rather than as a rounded claim. Public registry data for CAS 67727-97-3 can be checked independently via PubChem.

What a batch-specific COA means

A batch-specific certificate describes the exact material in the vial being shipped, not a representative sample from an earlier production run. Where a supplier publishes a single document covering an entire product line, that certificate cannot describe the unit received. Maple Research Labs does not publish a KPV listing without a matching batch document, and the certificate for this batch is downloadable from this page.

Handling and storage

Supplied as a lyophilised powder. Store sealed vials away from light and moisture; refrigeration extends the shelf stability of the dry powder. Allow a chilled vial to reach ambient temperature before opening, to limit condensation on the stopper. Handle in a controlled laboratory environment using appropriate personal protective equipment, and record the batch reference against your own experimental documentation.

Availability and shipping

Orders ship from the United States. KPV is listed as a single vial, so a laboratory can verify the certificate and the material against its own analytical methods before committing to a larger order.

Third-party testing and traceability for KPV

Testing for KPV is commissioned from Testides Analytical, a laboratory independent of both Maple Research Labs and the manufacturer. Independent testing matters because an in-house result is produced by the party with an interest in the outcome, and a third-party result is not. Each certificate states the analytical method used, the date of analysis and the batch identifier, so a result can be traced to a specific production run rather than to a product name in general.

Laboratories sourcing KPV for method development or comparative work generally need three things on file: a purity figure produced by a stated method, a batch identifier that matches the vial in hand, and a supplier willing to publish both before purchase rather than after. Those are the terms this listing is published on, and the certificate is available without an account or an enquiry.
