Description
KPV is a tripeptide made of lysine, proline and valine, the last three amino acids of α-MSH, a naturally occurring hormone. Researchers became interested in it because this short end piece appears to carry much of the parent hormone's activity in inflammation models.
Published in-vitro and preclinical studies have explored KPV in models of inflammatory signalling, the intestinal lining and skin. Each Monark vial contains 10mg of lyophilized peptide, tested by an independent laboratory.

The peptide
What is KPV?
α-MSH is a 13-amino-acid hormone best known for its role in pigmentation and inflammatory signalling. KPV is its final three amino acids, made synthetically for research.
Its very small size makes KPV a useful tool for studying how much of α-MSH's activity can be traced to that one short sequence.
- Just three amino acids
- Taken from the end of α-MSH
- Lyophilized for stability in storage

What does KPV stand for?
It's the one-letter codes of its three amino acids: lysine (K), proline (P) and valine (V).
Is KPV also in your blends?
Yes. It's one of the four peptides in the KLOW Blend, alongside GHK-Cu, BPC-157 and TB-500.
