€18.69
KPV 10mg research-grade lyophilized peptide powder in a glass vial. KPV is a tripeptide Lys–Pro–Val, representing the C-terminal active fragment of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), studied in anti-inflammatory, epithelial barrier and melanocortin-pathway research models.
Research Use Only: Laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Third-Party Tested
This product is third-party tested — view the certificate of analysis and laboratory verification.
Recommended solvent — Bacteriostatic water
In laboratory workflows, lyophilized research peptides are typically handled with suitable sterile diluents such as bacteriostatic water (BAC). For a compatible research-only solvent, see Bacteriostatic water.
Research Overview
KPV (Lys–Pro–Val) is a tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of α-MSH. In experimental systems it is used as a tool compound to study melanocortin-related anti-inflammatory signaling, epithelial barrier integrity and cellular stress responses in skin and intestinal models.
Primary Research Areas
- Anti-inflammatory pathways: models investigating suppression of pro-inflammatory signaling and modulation of cytokine/chemokine responses.
- Intestinal barrier & epithelial integrity: research on tight-junction proteins, epithelial repair dynamics and barrier function under inflammatory challenge.
- Skin & keratinocyte models: experimental systems exploring oxidative stress, inflammation and melanocortin-pathway effects in skin cells.
- Melanocortin & α-MSH signaling: studies where KPV serves as the minimal α-MSH fragment to probe receptor-mediated anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
