KPV
Also known as: Lysine-Proline-Valine
Overview
KPV is a tripeptide fragment derived from alpha-MSH that is commonly researched for anti-inflammatory activity, particularly in gut, skin, and immune contexts. It is not an approved prescription peptide medicine.
How it works
Associated with melanocortin-related anti-inflammatory signalling. It may reduce NF-kB activation and inflammatory cytokine expression in preclinical models, with research interest in epithelial barrier function, colitis models, and skin inflammation.
Primary uses
- Anti-inflammatory research
- Gut barrier research
- Skin inflammation research
- Immune modulation
- Colitis model research
Storage and preparation
Store lyophilised material frozen or refrigerated, protected from light and moisture. Reconstituted material should be refrigerated and used within supplier-validated stability guidance.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water, sterile water, or suitable research buffer. Add diluent gently and swirl without shaking.
