KPV

KPV | 30 MG

α-MSH–DERIVED TRIPEPTIDE

For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use

DESCRIPTION

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been extensively examined in in vitro research for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and epithelial-protective properties.

Laboratory studies indicate KPV may influence inflammatory signaling pathways, support epithelial barrier integrity, and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. These characteristics make it a compound of interest in gut epithelial models, dermal research, and wound-healing investigations.
