Description
KPV 500mcg Capsules — 60 Count
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a synthetic tripeptide representing the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Composed of three amino acids — lysine, proline, and valine — KPV has been studied in cellular biology and biochemical research literature examining melanocortin receptor research, cellular inflammation pathway research, and short-chain peptide chemistry.
Each bottle contains 60 oral capsules of KPV at 500mcg per capsule (30mg total), verified through Mile High Compounds’ three-tier quality protocol: 7x independent third-party analytical testing, 4-vial batch conformity verification, and comprehensive heavy metal screening.

Research Background
KPV has been investigated in research literature across several scientific contexts:
- Melanocortin receptor research — investigations into receptor binding and cellular signaling pathways involving the α-MSH peptide family
- Cellular inflammation pathway research — studies examining cellular response involving inflammatory signaling cascades in cell culture models
- Short-chain peptide chemistry — analytical chemistry studies on tripeptide structure-activity relationships and stability properties
- α-MSH peptide family research — comparative cellular research positioning KPV alongside other α-MSH fragments and analogs in cellular research contexts
- Cellular signaling pathway research — investigations into KPV’s interactions with cellular receptor systems
KPV is notable in research literature as one of the shortest functional α-MSH-derived peptides, representing the C-terminal tripeptide sequence of the parent hormone. The compound has been studied across cellular biology research contexts examining short peptide biology and cellular signaling. Foundational research is available through PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and the National Institutes of Health’s PMC database (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), where researchers can access peer-reviewed studies on KPV and α-MSH peptide family research.
