KPV 10-vial kit
from €289
Last three residues of α-MSH · kits of 10 or 30 vials
Tripeptide: lysine, proline, valine
KPV is three amino acids long: lysine, proline and valine. It matches the C-terminal end of α-MSH. Researchers use it in inflammation and cell-signalling studies.
Research use only: laboratory and in-vitro work. Not for use in people or animals, and not for diagnostics.

On requestKPV is a tripeptide, lysine-proline-valine, matching the final residues of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Its literature covers inflammation and cell signalling.
KPV comes in sealed kits of 10 or 30 freeze-dried vials. Certificates from an independent third-party laboratory are published per batch on /certificates as they become available. For laboratory and in-vitro research only.
KPV is made of the final three residues of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH): lysine, proline and valine. In other words, it is the C-terminal end of that hormone.
Studies report that this small piece keeps much of the parent hormone’s anti-inflammatory activity. It loses the pigment effect of the full sequence. At three residues it is also small enough for delivery models that larger peptides cannot enter.
A short summary of published work, given as research context. It makes no therapeutic claim.
A 2003 paper in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics pinned down which part of α-MSH carries the anti-inflammatory effect. Later studies took it into epithelial and delivery models.
All of this is preclinical work, and KPV has no approval as a medicine.
Written for education from published papers. It promises no result to anyone who buys, and NordPeps sells KPV for laboratory research only.
Unopened vials. Store at 2–8 °C. For long periods, −20 °C or colder. Room temperature is fine in transit, but it is not a way to store a peptide.
After reconstitution. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Do not freeze: ice crystals break the peptide down for good. In bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol), labs usually work through a vial within about 30 days. With plain sterile water, the window is 24–48 hours.
Keep vials closed and out of the light. If you hold frozen stock, thaw it as few times as you can; each cycle loses some activity.

Citing a paper is not a claim that NordPeps products do anything clinically.
A 10-vial kit costs €289 (10 mg). A 30-vial kit costs three times as much (€867). Delivery is free on every kit, to all 27 EU countries.
Certificates from an independent third-party laboratory are published per batch on /certificates as they become available.
They are the one-letter codes of its amino acids: K for lysine, P for proline and V for valine. Together they form the C-terminal end of α-MSH. Laboratory research use only.
We sell this compound only in sealed kits of 10 identical vials, or 30. A 10-vial kit is the smallest order.
Unopened: 2–8 °C; for long stretches, −20 °C. Reconstituted: in the fridge, never frozen. Details are under storage and handling.
By the volume of bacteriostatic water you add, not by the vial size alone. Enter the vial size and the diluent volume in the reconstitution calculator and it gives you the concentration.
Published studies report that it does not. The fragment keeps the anti-inflammatory activity but not the melanocortin pigment effect of full α-MSH. Its research home is inflammation, not pigmentation.
Kits leave us 24–48 hours after payment, in a plain box with tracking. Delivery stays within the EU. Laboratory research use only.
