KPV
Price range: $19.95 through $34.95
CAS Number: 64190-70-1
Overview:
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) corresponding to the C-terminal sequence of α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) and studied primarily for its anti-inflammatory activity.
Description
Overview
KPV is a tripeptide composed of lysine, proline, and valine, derived from the C-terminal residues 11–13 of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Despite its small size, KPV retains much of α-MSH’s anti-inflammatory activity without engaging melanocortin receptors at typical concentrations.
Research Background
KPV has been studied in research models of intestinal inflammation, colitis, dermatitis, and immune-mediated tissue injury. It is examined in both topical and systemic-administration research designs.
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within recommended timeframes. Handle under sterile laboratory conditions and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
