KPV | 10mg | α-MSH-Derived Tripeptide
For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use
Description:
KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide fragment derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been the focus of in vitro research for its potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and epithelial protective properties.
Studies suggest KPV may modulate inflammatory signaling pathways, enhance barrier function in epithelial cell cultures, and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, making it an area of interest in gut health, skin research, and wound-healing models.
