Description
KPV 10mg (Lys-Pro-Val) is a high-purity, research-grade synthetic C-terminal tripeptide fragment of endogenous alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH 11-13). It is commonly examined in preclinical and in vitro investigations focused on targeted anti-inflammatory signaling, mucosal epithelial homeostasis, and antimicrobial peptide mechanics. Unlike full-length α-MSH, KPV lacks melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) pigmentary agonist activity, allowing researchers to evaluate isolated immunomodulatory pathways without inducing melanogenesis.
In laboratory environments, KPV enters cells via peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) and exerts its primary biochemical effects through the selective inhibition of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) transcription pathway. By attenuating the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 subunits, KPV downregulates the transcription and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8. Researchers frequently utilize this compound to investigate intestinal mucosal barrier repair kinetics, colonic epithelial preservation in inflammatory bowel models, dermal wound remodeling, and host-defense mechanisms against microbial pathogens without systemic immunosuppression. This compound is supplied in a lyophilised form suitable for controlled research applications.
