KPV KITS

Description

KPV is a synthetic tripeptide composed of the amino acids lysine, proline, and valine. It corresponds to the C-terminal peptide sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, also known as α-MSH, and has been investigated for its interactions with inflammatory signaling, immune-related pathways, and cellular-response mechanisms.

Research Applications

• Inflammatory Signaling Research
• Immune-Response Pathway Studies
• Intestinal and Epithelial Cell Research
• Antimicrobial Activity Investigation
• Melanocortin-Related Peptide Research
• Cellular Stress and Barrier-Function Studies

Scientific Background

KPV consists of the amino-acid sequence Lys-Pro-Val and represents amino acids 11–13 of α-MSH. Research has examined this short peptide for biological activities associated with the C-terminal region of α-MSH, including its effects on inflammatory pathways and certain microbial organisms.

Laboratory studies have also investigated KPV transport through the peptide transporter PepT1 and its activity within intestinal inflammation models. Its precise mechanisms, receptor interactions, and potential applications remain subjects of ongoing scientific investigation.
