KPV

Molecular Formula: C₁₆H₃₀N₄O₄ · 342.43 g/mol

Description: KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) corresponding to the C-terminal fragment (residues 11-13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). In research models it is studied as an anti-inflammatory agent, with investigations focused on its modulation of NF-kB signalling and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. It is frequently examined in models of intestinal and mucosal inflammation to characterise its effects on immune cell activity and epithelial barrier function.
