KPV
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a synthetic tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), representing its three terminal amino acids. Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a 3mL vial, it is intended exclusively for in vitro laboratory research by qualified scientific personnel.
This peptide has been utilized in preclinical studies examining melanocortin receptor binding kinetics, inflammatory cytokine signaling pathways, gut epithelial cell models, and cellular stress response mechanisms — independent of the broader hormonal effects associated with full-length α-MSH activity.
