Lys-Pro-Val · Alpha-MSH Derived Tripeptide
Alpha-MSH derivative tripeptide. Studied in inflammatory pathway models.
KPV is a C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It retains the anti-inflammatory properties of the parent peptide by inhibiting NF-kB activation in epithelial cells, making it a research tool for inflammatory bowel conditions, skin inflammation, and wound healing.
