KPV Research Peptide — 5mg Lyophilized
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a C-terminal tripeptide of α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). With a molecular weight of 340.42 Da, KPV has been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties in numerous cell culture and animal model studies. It acts via melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R) and has been shown to modulate NF-κB signaling, cytokine production, and inflammatory cell migration.
KPV is commonly studied in gastrointestinal inflammation research, inflammatory bowel disease models, skin inflammation models, and colitis research. Its small size and stability make it an accessible tool for intracellular inflammation pathway research.
