KPV 10mg

Description

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-MSH that retains the parent peptide’s anti-inflammatory signaling properties. It interacts with melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC3R, and has been studied in preclinical research models for its capacity to downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokine expression including TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta via NF-kB pathway modulation. In vitro and murine models have explored its relevance to intestinal epithelial barrier function, making it a subject of interest in gastrointestinal inflammation research.

KPV is provided as a lyophilized powder with high purity, suitable for dissolution in aqueous buffers for cell-based assays, cytokine quantification studies, and controlled animal model experiments. Stable storage at -20 degrees Celsius in sealed vials protects peptide integrity between research uses. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
