KPV

What this compound is

KPV in supply terms

KPV is registered under CAS 67727-97-3, a synthetic tripeptide with the sequence Lysine-Proline-Valine, molecular formula C16H30N4O4 and a molecular weight of approximately 342.44 g/mol, one of the smallest molecules in the catalogue by mass. It corresponds to the C-terminal three residues, positions 11 through 13, of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, and is catalogued under the alternative designation alpha-MSH (11-13). The classification, melanocortin-derived peptide fragment, describes its sequence origin rather than any claim about the compound. Purity is verified at 98 percent or higher by HPLC on a batch-by-batch basis. KPV ships as a lyophilised powder in multi-dose research vials, white to off-white in appearance, standard fill 10mg. It is freely soluble in water and typically reconstituted using bacteriostatic water or sterile laboratory-grade water, requiring less handling consideration around solubility than some larger peptides in the range. Storage calls for refrigeration at 2-8C, away from direct light, with freezing recommended for extended storage ahead of reconstitution. Certificate of Analysis documentation is issued with each order and confirms both the purity result and the storage window under which that result was validated. Given its small size relative to other short-chain peptides in the catalogue, buyers should compare unit pricing on a per-mg basis rather than per-vial when benchmarking against larger fragment peptides.
