Description
KPV | Alpha-MSH C-Terminal Tripeptide – Research Peptide
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It retains anti-inflammatory activity in model systems while lacking the pigmentary signaling associated with the full-length peptide.
In vitro research has examined its influence on NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in epithelial and immune cell lines, along with its uptake via the peptide transporter PepT1.
Common research applications: inflammatory signaling research, NF-kappaB pathway assays, and epithelial cell culture models.
