Origin and target
Where each one comes from, and what it binds
KPV
Origin. The C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, lysine-proline-valine.
Target. Corresponds to the terminal fragment of the parent hormone sequence.
Full referenceMT-2
Origin. A synthetic cyclic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.
Target. The melanocortin receptor family.

Handling
The same for both
Both ship as freeze-dried powder, both mix with bacteriostatic water the same way, and both are stored at minus 20 C out of the light until then. What differs is which breakdown route each sequence is prone to, and the stability guide shows how to read that from the amino acids.
