Description
KPV is a three-amino-acid fragment taken from the end of the alpha-MSH sequence. It serves as a compact model peptide in studies of melanocortin-related immune cell signaling.
In cell culture and laboratory animal studies, research has covered NF-kB signaling, cytokine production in epithelial cells, intestinal peptide transporter activity, and keratinocyte cell behavior. Its short sequence supports clear structure-activity comparisons.
Intended use: In vitro and preclinical in vivo laboratory research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.
