Variante

KPV es un tripéptido sintético compuesto de lisina-prolina-valina, correspondiente al fragmento C-terminal de la hormona estimulante de los melanocitos (α-MSH), y se caracteriza por su secuencia definida de aminoácidos lineales y su bajo peso molecular. Ampliamente referenciado en la literatura científica por su identidad química y propiedades fisicoquímicas claramente establecidas, el KPV se utiliza comúnmente en el análisis de la estructura-función de péptidos, estudios de interacción molecular y en investigaciones centradas en la formulación, donde se evalúan fragmentos peptídicos cortos independientemente de los compuestos parentales de longitud completa.

Scientific Background

Discovery and Development
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). While α-MSH itself has been studied since the mid-20th century for its role in pigmentation and inflammation, the specific anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of the KPV fragment gained focused research attention in the 1990s and 2000s. Researchers isolated and synthesized KPV to study its effects independently of the full-length parent hormone, particularly in models of skin inflammation, gut barrier function, and immune modulation.

Key Milestones in Research

Mid-to-late 20th century: Foundational studies on α-MSH and its fragments in pigmentation and inflammation.
1990s–2000s: Characterization of KPV as a distinct anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory tripeptide.
2000s–Present: Expanded research into its roles in skin health, inflammatory bowel models, and topical peptide applications.

KPV continues to be a useful research tool because its small size, stability, and selective anti-inflammatory profile allow focused study of melanocortin-related pathways without the broader effects of full-length α-MSH.

Why researchers choose Ceritide Research KPV: High-purity tripeptide ideal for anti-inflammatory, skin health, and melanocortin pathway research.

Storage Guidelines

Peptide Storage Guidelines: Best Practices for Research Stability

At Ceritide Research, we provide high-purity peptides for laboratory and scientific research. Proper storage preserves peptide integrity and supports reliable experimental results.

Storage Guidelines for Lyophilized (Powder) Peptides

Long-Term Storage: Keep at -20°C (-4°F) or lower (ideally -80°C / -112°F) for multi-year stability.
Short-Term Storage: Refrigerate at 2–8°C (36–46°F) for weeks to a few months. Minimize room temperature exposure.
Best Practices: Store in airtight vials with desiccants. Allow vials to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening. Protect from light and moisture. Aliquot to reduce freeze-thaw cycles.

Storage Guidelines for Reconstituted Peptide Solutions

Once dissolved, peptides are less stable and should be used promptly:

Recommended Temperature: Store at 2–8°C (36–46°F) (refrigerator) for short-term use, typically up to 1–4 weeks depending on the sequence and buffer.
Longer-Term Solution Storage: Aliquot and freeze at -20°C (-4°F) or lower. Avoid storing solutions long-term when possible.
Best Practices: Use sterile techniques, bacteriostatic water or research-grade buffers, and minimize exposure to air and light. Prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

For Research Use Only
All products from Ceritide Research are sold for research, laboratory, or analytical purposes only, and are not for human consumption. Our peptides are intended exclusively for in vitro scientific research and are not for human or veterinary use.
