KPV

KPV | Anti-inflammatory Research Peptide

 

We offer high-purity KPV, a synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) that represents the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This peptide is supplied as a lyophilized powder to ensure maximum stability and bioactivity for use in cellular and molecular research.

KPV is a significant tool for scientists as it is recognized for retaining the potent anti-inflammatory activity of its parent hormone. It is used extensively in in-vitro models to investigate inflammatory signaling pathways, cytokine expression, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) translocation. Its targeted mechanism of action makes it an ideal compound for research into the molecular basis of inflammation in a controlled laboratory setting.
