Research interest

Why researchers are interested

Brief notes on why KPV appears in laboratory study designs. Research use only — not for human or veterinary use.

  • Researchers are studying this short α-MSH–derived tripeptide for melanocortin-adjacent pathway models.
  • Common research areas include inflammatory-marker assays and short-peptide handling studies.
  • Of interest in studies that compare short tripeptides with larger melanocortin analogs.

What is KPV in research?

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a three-amino-acid fragment derived from the C-terminal region of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH, residues 11-13). Laboratories use it as a compact reference peptide when studying melanocortin-adjacent pathways or inflammatory-marker panels in controlled cellular models.

Public identity anchors include PubChem CID 92944 and the molecular formula C16H30N6O4 (370.45 g/mol). Elevate Precision Health supplies KPV strictly for research use. Keep lot numbers linked to any identity or purity notes archived with the study folder.

Typical laboratory applications

Investigators use KPV in cellular marker panels, comparative studies versus larger melanocortin analogs such as Melanotan II, and peptide-handling case studies for very short sequences. The tripeptide is also a component of the KLOW multi-peptide blend, where it adds α-MSH–fragment coverage to the marker panel.

Short tripeptides can elute near the solvent front in typical HPLC methods; tune gradients accordingly when KPV is part of a chromatographic identity or purity check on the research bench.
