Buy KPV Starter Kit in Australia
Buy KPV starter kit in Australia from Macropus Peptides: a KPV 10mg vial of lyophilised tripeptide, a 3 mL vial of bacteriostatic water, ten 0.5 mL insulin syringes and twenty alcohol swabs in one box. KPV is lysine, proline and valine, the last three amino acids of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone, and it is studied in intestinal and colitis models for its effect on inflammatory signalling after uptake through the PepT1 transporter. Being so small, 10mg of KPV holds far more molecules than 10mg of a larger peptide. All of the supplied water gives 3.33 mg per mL. The vial carries a lot number, and a certificate of analysis for that lot is available. Buying the kit costs a little over a fifth less than the same items ordered separately. Order online and the parcel ships from inside Australia nationwide. For in-vitro research by adults 18 and over only; not for human or veterinary use.

Buy KPV Starter Kit Australia: 10mg Tripeptide with Diluent and Syringes
Three residues long, this tripeptide ranks among the smallest compounds we stock. Its kit sets a lot-numbered 10mg vial beside three millilitres of preserved water in a small bottle, ten insulin syringes with half-millilitre barrels and twenty swabs, which covers one full reconstitution. The powder is identical to our single 10mg vial and is released from the same lots.
What is in the KPV kit and what the tripeptide is
Alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone runs to thirteen amino acids. Its last three, lysine, proline and valine, form KPV. The fragment keeps much of the anti-inflammatory signalling studied in immune and gut cells, while losing the pigment activity of the whole hormone. We supply it as a synthetic white powder. With a molecular weight near 342, the tripeptide weighs roughly a tenth as much as a typical signalling peptide, so 10mg holds about 29 micromoles, several times the molecule count a longer chain would give per milligram.
How KPV works in research
Unlike its parent hormone, the fragment appears to act largely inside the cell. Intestinal epithelial cells and immune cells take it up through PepT1, a transporter for di- and tripeptides that becomes more active in inflamed gut tissue. Once inside, it dampens NF-kappa B activation and the release of inflammatory cytokines. Some melanocortin receptor binding has also been reported, but uptake-dependent activity is the main thread. Laboratories use it in colitis models, epithelial cell culture and immune signalling studies, and as a tool for PepT1 transport work. Its small size makes it a convenient model substrate for that transporter, which also carries many oral drugs across the gut wall.
KPV research: what the studies show
Gastroenterology reported in 2008 that intestinal cells import the tripeptide through PepT1, and that this uptake reduced inflammation in cell and mouse models. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases added mouse colitis data within that year. In 2017 Molecular Therapy described an oral delivery system using hyaluronic acid-coated nanoparticles to carry it to colonic cells in mice. Most published work is preclinical. Studies are summarised in tripeptide research.

Bought separately, the tripeptide vial and its consumables cost over a quarter more, so the kit saves a little over a fifth. It costs only slightly more than the 10mg vial by itself. For labs working with oral delivery, the capsule format holds 15 milligrams in total across sixty units and is priced below the vial. The two formats answer different questions, so route matters more than a milligram comparison between them.
KPV 10mg: why the vial goes further
The kit vial is the same fill as the 10mg listing. Small size pushes molarity up, and 5 mg in each millilitre comes to nearly 14.6 millimolar, roughly three times the molarity that a heptapeptide such as Selank reaches at the same mass concentration.
Water, barrels and swabs: KPV supplies
Transport and cell assays tend to use small, repeated volumes from one stock. Half-millilitre barrels resolve those volumes finely, the benzyl alcohol in the diluent protects the solution between draws, and twenty swabs give a fresh one per stopper for ten sessions.

KPV 10mg reconstitution: how much bac water
Divide ten by the water volume in millilitres.
- 3 mL: 3.33 mg per mL
- 2 mL: 5 mg per mL
- 1 mL: 10 mg per mL
Short peptides like this dissolve almost at once, so one gentle swirl is usually enough. At 3.33 mg per mL each unit line on the syringe holds about 33 micrograms. For more dilute working solutions, order a separate bacteriostatic water 10mL bottle.
Is KPV available in Australia
As a research peptide, yes. No ARTG listing or TGA approval has ever been granted for the tripeptide, which rules out any sale for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes. Macropus Peptides supplies the kit for laboratory study to buyers who are 18 or older. Read the Poisons Standard entry that applies to your organisation first.
