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.
