Alpha-MSH tripeptide fragment
The C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH, studied in epithelial and inflammatory cell models. Supplied lyophilised.
- Ships from British Columbia. Canadian addresses only, so no order crosses a border.
- Lyophilised and ambient-stable in transit, so no cold pack is needed.
- The lot you receive is recorded against your order number.
For in vitro laboratory research use only. Not for human or animal consumption. Ships to Canadian addresses only, from British Columbia.

Arrives with your lot
Three values are specific to the vial you receive rather than to the compound, so they publish with that lot's certificate and not before: purity by HPLC, identity by mass spectrometry, and the lot number tying both to your order. Molecular weight publishes alongside them.
No lot has been released yet, so there is nothing on the lab results page to check. A supplier publishing a figure before the assay exists is describing an intention, not a measurement.
Reconstitution
Work out your concentration and draw volume before you open the vial.
KPV is supplied lyophilised. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water in the laboratory, directing the stream against the vial wall rather than onto the powder, and allow it to dissolve without shaking.
Once reconstituted, storage requirements change. Keep the solution refrigerated and protected from light, and record the date of reconstitution against the lot number.

Common questions
What is KPV?
KPV is an alpha-msh tripeptide fragment. The C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH, studied in epithelial and inflammatory cell models. Supplied lyophilised.
What is KPV made of?
A synthetic peptide, assembled chain by chain rather than extracted from a source organism, then freeze dried. Its class is alpha-msh tripeptide fragment. The exact composition for a given batch is described in that lot's certificate of analysis.
How is KPV supplied?
Supplied lyophilised, as a dry powder in a sealed vial, in 10 mg. Freeze dried material is stable at ambient temperature for the length of a domestic transit, which is why it does not ship with a cold pack.
Has this lot been tested?
Not yet. Vantra has released no lot, so no certificate exists and purity and molecular weight read "Pending" on this page rather than carrying a number. The standard is an independent assay published against the lot number it applies to, and a figure published before that assay exists would be an intention rather than a measurement.
Can KPV be used in humans or animals?
No. KPV is supplied for in vitro laboratory research only. It is not a therapeutic product, it is not authorised by Health Canada, and it is not for human or animal consumption. No dosing guidance is provided here or by our support team. Buyers are responsible for lawful handling and disposal.
