KPV Capsules

Direct Anti Peptide is pleased to offer KPV Capsules, an orally formulated research-grade tripeptide product manufactured to ≥98% purity and intended exclusively for use in controlled scientific settings. These capsules represent a convenient, non-invasive delivery format for researchers studying the biological activity of the KPV sequence across a range of in vitro and in vivo models.

Product Overview

KPV is a naturally occurring C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), composed of the amino acids Lysine, Proline, and Valine. Researchers have long investigated this peptide for its notable anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties. The oral capsule format eliminates the need for invasive administration methods in applicable research protocols, offering improved handling convenience and reproducibility across study designs. KPV Capsules from Direct Anti Peptide are positioned as a premier research tool for scientists exploring gut biology, dermatological inflammation, and systemic immune regulation at the preclinical level.

Peptide Structure & Amino Acid Sequence

KPV is a tripeptide with the amino acid sequence Lys-Pro-Val, representing the 13th, 14th, and 15th residues of the α-MSH peptide chain. Its compact three-residue structure allows for efficient mucosal absorption when delivered orally, making it particularly well-suited for gastrointestinal research applications. The peptide’s small molecular footprint contributes to its stability in formulated capsule matrices, supporting consistent release profiles in experimental conditions.

Purity & Analytical Verification (HPLC & MS)

Every batch of KPV Capsules supplied by Direct Anti Peptide undergoes rigorous analytical testing prior to release. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to confirm peptide purity at ≥98%, while mass spectrometry (MS) validates the molecular identity and structural integrity of the KPV sequence. These dual verification methods ensure that researchers receive a product of consistent quality and scientific reliability across every order.

Quality Control & Lyophilization Integrity

The KPV peptide used in these capsules is produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and subjected to lyophilization to preserve structural stability and extend shelf life. Each production lot is assessed for moisture content, physical appearance, and encapsulation uniformity. Strict quality control protocols are maintained throughout manufacturing and packaging to ensure that the peptide retains its integrity from production through to the research laboratory.

Safety, Handling & Laboratory Precautions

KPV Capsules are supplied exclusively for use by qualified research professionals in appropriate laboratory environments. Researchers should adhere to all applicable institutional biosafety guidelines when handling peptide compounds. Standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection, is recommended during handling and preparation. These capsules must not be used in any human or animal subject without the explicit oversight of a licensed regulatory authority. All waste disposal should comply with local laboratory regulations.

Reconstitution, Packaging & Storage

KPV Capsules are supplied in a pre-encapsulated format, removing the need for reconstitution in most research applications. Products should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct light and humidity. For long-term archival, refrigerated storage between 2–8°C is recommended. Always refer to the accompanying certificate of analysis (CoA) for batch-specific storage guidance. Keep all research materials out of reach of unauthorized personnel.

Intended Research Use & Market Positioning

KPV Capsules are designed to support preclinical research into inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colitis, mucosal immunity, wound healing biology, and skin inflammation models. The oral capsule format is particularly advantageous for gastrointestinal research, as it enables direct interaction with the intestinal lining, facilitating studies on localized anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Direct Anti Peptide positions this product as a best-in-class research tool for scientists seeking a convenient, high-purity KPV formulation at a competitive price point.
