KPV

KPV

Product Overview

KPV is a synthetic tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been widely studied for its anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and barrier-protective properties in both epithelial and immune models.
Research indicates that KPV may act through melanocortin receptor pathways and direct inhibition of NF-κB activation, resulting in reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling and enhanced tissue recovery.
This compound is intended strictly for laboratory research use only and is not approved for human or veterinary applications.
