Overview
KPV is the tripeptide lysine-proline-valine (Lys-Pro-Val), corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of the larger hormone alpha-MSH. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder for laboratory research.
In research it is studied in vitro and in preclinical models for its role in inflammation-related signalling, including NF-kB pathway activity, and in antimicrobial research. It is supplied as a research reference material only and is not for human or animal consumption.
Research areas
- NF-kB signalling pathway activity, characterised in inflammation research models
- Pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6, TNF-alpha) signalling, studied in vitro
- Antimicrobial-activity research models
- Gastrointestinal inflammation research models
