Buy KPV Capsules in Australia

Capsules, 60 × 250 mcg · Available to order, dispatched from Australia
$84.99

Buy KPV capsules in Australia from Macropus Peptides in a bottle of 60, each capsule containing 250 micrograms of the tripeptide for 15 milligrams per bottle. KPV is the three amino acid sequence lysine, proline and valine taken from the tail of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone, and it is small enough to be carried into gut cells by the PepT1 transporter, which is why mouse colitis research has delivered it in drinking water. Capsules arrive dry and evenly portioned, with no reconstitution step. Each bottle is labelled with compound, amount per capsule, count and lot number, and the certificate of analysis for its lot is available on request. The bottle holds more peptide than our KPV 10mg vial and costs less. Order KPV capsules online and we dispatch from within Australia to every Australian state. Supplied strictly for laboratory research to purchasers aged 18 and over, and not for human or veterinary use.

Buy KPV Capsules Australia: 60 x 250mcg Research Capsules

Macropus Peptides stocks the alpha-MSH derived tripeptide in two forms, a freeze-dried 10mg vial and a bottle of capsules. The capsule bottle holds 60 units of 250 micrograms each, 15 mg altogether, portioned at manufacture so every unit is the same. The vial and the capsules share a source, and the batch behind any bottle can be identified from its printed lot.

KPV capsules Australia: what the peptide is

Lysine, proline and valine make up this tripeptide, copied from positions 11, 12 and 13 at the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. At roughly 342 daltons it is one of the smallest bioactive peptides we stock. The parent hormone acts on melanocortin receptors to regulate pigmentation and inflammatory signalling, and its tail was found decades ago to carry anti-inflammatory activity on its own. KPV is the shortest fragment that keeps that activity, without the pigment effects of the full chain. It is a preclinical research compound, and its published record is confined to cells and rodents.

How KPV works in research

Its small size gives it a route into cells that larger peptides lack. PepT1, the transporter that moves di- and tripeptides across the intestinal lining, recognises it and carries it into epithelial and immune cells. Inside those cells it has been linked to reduced NF-kB and MAP kinase inflammatory signalling. Because the molecule is so short, each milligram contains roughly five times as many molecules as a milligram of a 15-residue peptide, which matters for groups that plan in molar amounts. Researchers use it to study intestinal inflammation, transporter-mediated uptake and melanocortin fragment biology.

KPV research: what the published mouse studies show

Two papers from 2008 anchor the record. The first, in Gastroenterology, examined PepT1-mediated uptake of the peptide and measured colitis markers in mice given the tripeptide in their drinking water, which makes it one of the few short peptides with a documented oral route in animal models. The second, in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, examined colitis severity, histology and inflammatory mediators in normal mice and in a strain whose melanocortin 1 receptor does not function. Our KPV research studies library sets out how each experiment was designed. The compound has not been through controlled human trials.

Each capsule carries 250 micrograms, a quarter of a milligram, of the dry peptide. Four capsules make 1 mg, forty make 10 mg and the full bottle makes 15 mg, so capsule counts translate straight into mass without any weighing. Sixty capsules fill each sealed bottle, and its label shows the tripeptide name, the amount per unit, the count and a lot code. We issue the analysis certificate for that lot code whenever you ask.

KPV capsules price in Australia

OptionPrice
KPV capsules$84.99

Pricing is a single Australian dollar amount per bottle, and the capsules can be bought today. It contains 15 mg against the 10 mg in the vial and is priced below that vial, which makes the capsules the lower cost per milligram way to buy this tripeptide.

Capsules or the KPV 10mg vial: which suits your study

Choose the capsules when the study design follows the drinking water and oral uptake route of the published mouse work, or when a dry, pre-measured format with no diluent and no refrigerated solution is easier to manage. One bottle carries half as much again as the vial, enough for a longer run on a single lot. Choose the KPV 10mg vial for transporter assays, cultured cells and any other method that needs the peptide dissolved at a set concentration. The two formats share one supply, so switching between them does not change the compound.

Keeping dry KPV stable in storage

A dry tripeptide is fairly hardy, but humidity and heat still degrade it over time. The capsule format spares the laboratory every reconstitution task: no diluent, no mixing date and no solution to keep cold. Leave the capsules in their original bottle, close the lid after each opening, and store it cool and dark, refrigerated if the label says so. Do not leave loose units on the bench between sessions. Log the lot number with each experiment so data can be matched to the batch record.

Is KPV available in Australia

It is available only as a research compound. KPV is absent from the ARTG, no TGA approval exists for it, and the capsules cannot lawfully be marketed as supplements or medicines or used in humans or animals. Peptide scheduling comes under the Poisons Standard, and each organisation should confirm where it stands before buying.

KPV capsules for sale Australia wide, posted from Australian stock

From our Australian stock, parcels go to Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Canberra and regional addresses in every state. Laboratories working on gut and skin models often pair KPV with BPC-157 capsules or GHK-Cu, and the complete list is in our recovery research range.
