KPV is a synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) representing the C-terminal fragment of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research has investigated its anti-inflammatory activity, which appears largely independent of melanocortin receptor binding.

Research interest in KPV has focused on:

  • NF-κB pathway inhibition in epithelial cell cultures
  • Cytokine modulation (IL-1β, TNF-α) in inflammation models
  • Intestinal epithelial barrier integrity studies
  • Topical and oral bioavailability research

Supplied as lyophilised powder. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for research use. Each batch independently verified for purity before dispatch.

Research Handling Note
For best results, allow both the lyophilised peptide and your chosen solvent to reach ambient laboratory temperature before reconstitution. Introduce solvent slowly against the vial wall and allow the cake to dissolve without agitation to maintain structural integrity. Store reconstituted material per the specifications above.
