KPV
Lys-Pro-Val — C-terminal Tripeptide of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a synthetic tripeptide corresponding to C-terminal residues 11–13 of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Experimental studies have characterised KPV-mediated inhibition of NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation, attenuation of IκBα phosphorylation and degradation, and reduction of TNF-α-, IL-1β-, and IL-6-driven cytokine secretion in intestinal epithelial and macrophage systems. Cellular internalisation has been associated with the PepT1 (SLC15A1) oligopeptide transporter, upregulated in inflamed epithelium. Applied in cytokine signalling, epithelial barrier integrity, and NLRP3 inflammasome biology research.

Corrections and queries 0 corrected, 1 queried with the supplier
| Field | On the supplier document | Here | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak table | peaks 4 and 5 both at 10.090 min | shown as reported, queried | Two peaks cannot share one apex time. It reads as one peak split by the integration software. Splitting it lowers the reported purity rather than raising it, so the figure is conservative either way, and we have asked the supplier to confirm the integration. |
A measured result is never rewritten. Where a reported figure does not stand up, it is shown as printed and marked as queried.
Sample lot. This is the report supplied with the sample of this compound. A production lot ships with its own report, published here in the same form and indexed by its own lot number.
Every analytical figure above is transcribed from the supplier’s report for lot P260709-YS194722. Identity is the PubChem record, which can be checked independently. Purity is the main peak’s share of integrated peak area at the detection wavelength, so it measures related impurities. Water, salts and counter-ions are not part of it. These are the supplier’s release documents, not independent third-party tests.
