What is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin and what is KPV?
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is classified as Co-formulated GHRH-analog and secretagogue blend; KPV as Tripeptide alpha-MSH fragment. Both profiles below cover scientific identity only — what the molecule is and which laboratory models it appears in. Verve supplies both strictly as in-vitro reference materials, and neither profile describes human or veterinary use.
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
Co-formulated GHRH-analog and secretagogue blend
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is a co-formulated research blend of two peptides that act at separate receptors. CJC-1295 without DAC, also referred to as Mod GRF 1-29, is a modified 29-amino-acid analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone characterized as a GHRH-receptor agonist. Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide characterized as a selective agonist at the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor, GHS-R1a.
full CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin profile →KPV
Tripeptide alpha-MSH fragment
KPV is a tripeptide composed of lysine, valine, and proline, corresponding to the C-terminal fragment (residues 11–13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It is the smallest sequence retained from that parent peptide and is widely used as a compact reference compound in cellular signaling research, where its short chain length makes it convenient for controlled in-vitro work.
full KPV profile →Which research models is each compound studied in?
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin sits in longevity & cellular research and KPV in recovery & gut research, so their listed models largely do not intersect. The table lists 5 reported research applications for CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin and 5 for KPV. Rows are per compound, not equivalences.
| CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin — reported research applications | KPV — reported research applications |
|---|---|
| Dual-pathway GHRH-receptor and GHS-R1a signaling research | Inflammatory-signaling research models (NF-κB pathway studies) |
| Receptor cross-talk and signal-transduction research models | Cytokine-expression research in cultured cells |
| Comparative agonist research versus single-component preparations | Melanocortin-receptor and alpha-MSH fragment research |
| Endocrine-signaling research in cellular and pre-clinical models | Epithelial and mucosal-barrier research models |
| Peptide stability and analog structure–activity research | Structure–activity studies of short peptide fragments |

What is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin?
It is a co-formulated research blend of CJC-1295 without DAC (also called Mod GRF 1-29), a GHRH analog, and ipamorelin, a selective GHS-R1a agonist. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is the difference between CJC-1295 with and without DAC?
The DAC (drug affinity complex) modification is a chemical addition studied for its effect on the analog's circulating half-life in pre-clinical models. The no-DAC form, Mod GRF 1-29, lacks that modification and is the component used in this blend.
What is KPV?
KPV is a tripeptide (lysine-valine-proline) corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-MSH. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is KPV studied for in research?
In in-vitro and pre-clinical models it is used as a reference compound in inflammatory-signaling, cytokine-expression, and melanocortin-pathway research. Verve makes no claims about use in humans or animals.
