Description
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the C-terminal region of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, used as a reference peptide in inflammation research. Researchers study it as a minimal melanocortin-derived sequence.
In cultured cells and laboratory animals, investigations have focused on melanocortin signaling, inflammatory-pathway modulation, epithelial cell behavior, and mucosal-tissue responses. Its compact sequence makes it a focused probe for inflammation research.
Intended use: In vitro and preclinical in vivo laboratory research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.
