Description
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) — Research-Grade
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone — the three amino acids that carry most of the immunomodulatory signaling activity of the parent peptide, without the melanocortin receptor binding. Lys-Pro-Val. Three letters, one of the smallest signaling peptides actively studied in inflammation research.
In the lab, KPV shows up in studies of NF-kB pathway modulation, cytokine cascade research, and tight junction biology in gastrointestinal epithelial models. It is also a frequent reference compound in peptidergic inflammatory pathway research. If your work touches any of those areas, this compound belongs on your bench.
