Premium research-grade KPV supplied as a lyophilized compound for laboratory research use by qualified professionals. For laboratory research use only.

Classification: Synthetic tripeptide; specifically the C-terminal fragment of the naturally occurring $\alpha$-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone ($\alpha$-MSH).

Technical Specifications:

  • Purity: >98% (HPLC)
  • Molecular Formula: C16H30N4O4
  • Molecular Weight: 341.4 Da
  • Sequence: Lys-Pro-Val
  • Format: Lyophilized powder

Research Context: KPV is utilized in preclinical research to examine the non-pigmentary effects of the melanocortin system. Research focuses on its ability to interact with melanocortin receptors (MCRs), particularly MC1R, without inducing the typical pigmentary changes associated with full-length $\alpha$-MSH. In laboratory models, KPV is studied for its modulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and its potential to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additional experimental focus is placed on its antimicrobial properties and its impact on intestinal epithelial cells in models of inflammatory bowel research.
