Tripeptide Anti-Inflammatory Research Compound
KPV (10mg) is supplied in Australia by Aussie Peptides with fast domestic shipping to all states and territories.
KPV is an endogenous three-amino-acid peptide derived from the C-terminus of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research interest centres on its targeted anti-inflammatory activity at mucosal and epidermal barriers in preclinical inflammatory-signalling models — distinguishing it from corticosteroid and immunosuppressant mechanisms. KPV is studied in models of IBD, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis, where reducing mucosal inflammation without blunt immunosuppression is a central research challenge.
The same anti-inflammatory mechanism is studied in epidermal wound healing, inflammatory skin condition models, and barrier function restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is KPV peptide, and what does KPV stand for?
KPV is the three-amino-acid peptide lysine–proline–valine: K, P and V are the amino acids’ one-letter codes. It corresponds to the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This listing supplies a 10mg lyophilised research vial. The identity and inflammation research context are described in Dalmasso and colleagues’ laboratory study.
What has KPV been studied for, and in which research models?
KPV has been investigated in cultured human intestinal and immune cells and in chemically induced mouse colitis models. A 2008 study reported reduced inflammatory signalling and colitis measures. These are preclinical findings; they do not demonstrate treatment of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or other conditions in people with this vial.
How does KPV work in laboratory studies?
In the PepT1 study, KPV entered intestinal and immune cells through a peptide transporter called PepT1 and reduced activity in the NF-κB and MAP kinase inflammatory signalling pathways. These experimental observations do not establish an absence of effects elsewhere in the immune system.
How does KPV differ from BPC-157?
They are different compounds: KPV has three amino acids, while BPC-157 has 15. KPV studies include intestinal inflammatory signalling; BPC-157 studies include tendon-cell and animal injury models. Findings from separate studies do not establish that either compound is superior for a particular condition or that they are interchangeable.
How do you reconstitute KPV?
KPV is supplied as a lyophilized powder and should be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water) immediately before use. Inject the BAC water slowly into the vial, directing the stream down the inside wall. Gently swirl to dissolve — do not shake. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 8–12 weeks. For a full step-by-step walkthrough, see our complete peptide reconstitution guide.
How should KPV be stored?
Store lyophilized KPV vials at -20°C, away from light and moisture. After reconstitution with BAC water, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 8–12 weeks. Do not freeze the reconstituted solution.
