KPV

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val, CAS 67727-97-3) is a synthetic tripeptide supplied for laboratory and analytical research use only. It corresponds to the C-terminal three amino acids of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and is one of the smallest peptides in our catalogue.

Research background

KPV is characterised in the literature as the minimal anti-inflammatory fragment of α-MSH. Reported areas of investigation include inhibition of NF-κB activation, modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and interaction with the PepT1 transporter in intestinal epithelial models. Investigators typically study it in the context of mucosal inflammation, wound-healing models and comparative melanocortin-fragment activity. It is also a component of our KLOW research blend.
