KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), one of the naturally occurring melanocortin peptides. While α-MSH has multiple documented functions, research interest in KPV specifically centres on its role in inflammatory signalling — particularly its interactions with intracellular pathways that regulate cytokine production.
Research has explored KPV's effect on NF-κB signalling, a central transcription-factor pathway involved in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Studies have examined its interaction with inflammatory mediators in cell culture and pre-clinical models, including gastrointestinal-tissue models where inflammatory regulation is an active area of study. Its small size and relatively simple structure make it an accessible research tool for peptide-biology laboratories.
The compound has also been investigated in models examining skin and mucosal inflammation, where melanocortin-receptor-mediated pathways play a documented regulatory role. KPV research sits at the intersection of melanocortin biology, immunology, and gut physiology.
myPEPT supplies KPV at ≥99% verified purity with a Certificate of Analysis from independent third-party testing (CAS 67727-97-3, MW 342.43 Da, C₁₆H₃₀N₄O₄). Lyophilised and shipped across the EU in properly sealed research-grade vials.
What researchers should know: KPV is supplied for laboratory research purposes only. It is not a therapeutic or pharmaceutical product and is not approved for human use in this format. Handle and store it in accordance with your institution's protocols for research peptides.

Frequently asked
7 questionsHow fast is delivery and which carriers do you use?
Orders placed before 16:00 CET ship the same business day from the Netherlands via DPD or PostNL. EU-wide delivery typically takes 2–5 working days, fully tracked. Every parcel ships in plain, unbranded packaging with no peptide-related markings visible.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept iDEAL (Netherlands), Bancontact (Belgium), PayPal, Klarna pay-later, SEPA instant bank transfer, and Visa/Mastercard credit and debit cards. All payments are processed through PCI-DSS-compliant European processors. Bank transfer and card orders ship within 24 hours of payment confirmation.
How do you verify peptide purity?
Every batch is HPLC-tested to 99% purity or higher by an independent third-party laboratory, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. The batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is published on every product page and delivered with the order.
Are research peptides legal to buy in the Netherlands and EU?
Yes — when sold and purchased strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. Research peptides on my\PEPT.eu are not approved, marketed or intended for human or veterinary use, medical diagnosis or therapeutic application. By placing an order you confirm research-only intent and accept responsibility for compliance with local regulations.
How should research peptides be stored?
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides keep up to 24 months at −20 °C in a sealed vial. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8 °C and use within 28 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and direct sunlight.
What is KPV as a research peptide?
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with a molecular weight of approximately 340 Da. It is studied in laboratory research for its interaction with melanocortin receptors and NFκB pathway assays in cell culture models. KPV is intended for laboratory research only — not for human or veterinary consumption.
How should KPV be stored?
Lyophilized KPV is stable for up to 24 months at −20 °C in a sealed vial, protected from light. After reconstitution in bacteriostatic water for laboratory assay purposes, store at 2–8 °C and use within 28 days. Supplied for in-vitro research use only.
