Questions

What is KPV?
KPV, or Lys-Pro-Val, is a three-residue peptide corresponding to positions 11-13 of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, the hormone's C-terminal end. The name is simply its one-letter code, K-P-V.
What does 10 mg on the KPV vial mean?
The label states the total quantity in the vial: 10 mg of lyophilized powder. Solara does not publish whether that figure is the gross powder weight or the net peptide content.
What is the molecular weight of KPV?
PubChem lists an average molecular weight of 342.43 g/mol and the formula C16H30N4O4 (PubChem CID 125672). This is a computed reference value for the compound, not a measurement of a Solara lot. The label does not state the salt form; a salt has a higher formula weight than this value.
What is the CAS number of KPV?
The CAS Registry Number given for KPV in its PubChem record is 67727-97-3; other salt forms carry other numbers.
How should KPV be stored?
Store the sealed vial at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Let it reach room temperature before opening.
Where does Solara ship KPV from?
Solara ships from Canada. Orders are dispatched within one to two business days of payment, sealed and packed to keep the powder dry and out of light. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Shipping is $15 flat per order, and free on orders over $200.
Is Solara's KPV for human use?
No. The KPV Solara supplies is a lyophilized powder for laboratory research use only, not for human or veterinary use. This product is not an authorized drug, carries no Drug Identification Number and is not GMP material. The Research use policy states the full condition of supply.
