KPV

Description

KPV is a synthetic tripeptide composed of the amino acid’s lysine, proline, and valine, corresponding to the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In scientific research, it is classified as a melanocortin-derived peptide fragment that retains the anti-inflammatory activity of its parent molecule without the broader hormonal effects mediated by melanocortin receptor binding. Research has focused on its modulation of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways, including NF-κB suppression and downregulation of cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, as well as its role in epithelial barrier integrity and oxidative stress regulation. This 10mg lyophilized format is designed to provide high-purity material for controlled laboratory-based in vitro investigations.

Specifications:

• Unit Size: 10mg
• Form: Lyophilized powder

Application Context:

KPV is a primary subject of study in the following areas:

• Inflammation Research: Investigation of NF-κB pathway inhibition and downstream cytokine modulation.
• Melanocortin System Studies: Research regarding peptide interactions with MC1R and MC3R signaling and α-MSH-derived activity.
• Cellular Signaling: Studies on reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulation and MAPK pathway modulation.
• Epithelial Barrier Models: Research into peptide effects on gut and skin barrier integrity, keratinocyte viability, and mucosal inflammatory response pathways.
