KPV

KPV
A naturally occurring tripeptide composed of lysine, proline, and valine, derived from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is studied for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.

Research Focus

• Reduction of inflammation through cytokine suppression (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6).

• Modulation of NF-κB signaling and related inflammatory pathways.

• Activity at melanocortin receptors (MC1R) supporting immune regulation.

• Protection and repair of epithelial and soft tissue.

• Restoration of barrier integrity under oxidative or inflammatory stress.

Mechanisms Under Study

• Inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine release.

• Regulation of immune homeostasis via melanocortin signaling.

• Support of tissue healing and barrier recovery in cellular stress models.

Product Information

• Supplied as a lyophilized sterile powder.

• Third-party verified for purity, molecular identity, and composition.

• For laboratory research use only, not for human or animal use.
