Description

KPV 10 mg

KPV (Lysine–Proline–Valine) is a synthetic tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal amino-acid sequence of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).

KPV is studied experimentally in relation to cellular signalling pathways associated with inflammatory regulation, immune signalling and epithelial biology. Unlike the full α-MSH peptide, KPV does not contain the complete melanocortin sequence and is investigated as a distinct research peptide.

Benchmark Peptides supplies KPV as a research material for laboratory and analytical use only. This product is not supplied or intended for human or veterinary use.

Research Information

KPV is a short peptide consisting of the three amino acids lysine, proline and valine. It represents the C-terminal tripeptide sequence of α-MSH and has been investigated independently of the parent peptide in experimental research models.

Scientific research involving KPV and its associated biological pathways includes investigation of:

• Inflammatory signalling pathways
• Cellular immune-response mechanisms
• Cytokine-associated signalling
• Epithelial cell biology
• Intestinal epithelial research
• Skin and keratinocyte biology
• Cellular responses to inflammatory stimuli
• α-MSH-derived peptide signalling

Experimental studies have investigated interactions between KPV and molecular pathways involved in inflammatory and epithelial responses. Research in this area includes both in-vitro and preclinical experimental models, and findings from such models should not be interpreted as demonstrating clinical effects.

KPV provides a laboratory research material for investigating the biological activity of a short α-MSH-derived peptide and its interactions with cellular signalling systems.
