About KPV
KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is the three-residue C-terminal fragment of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. By isolating this minimal sequence, researchers obtained a peptide that retains the anti-inflammatory profile of α-MSH while losing the melanocortin receptor activity responsible for pigmentation. KPV has become a reference tool in studies of inflammatory bowel models, mucosal barrier integrity and dermal inflammation, where it is reported to downregulate NF-κB signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Each 10 mg vial is lyophilized at ≥99% HPLC purity, sealed under nitrogen and shipped with a full Certificate of Analysis.
Mechanism of action
Acts intracellularly to inhibit NF-κB activation and downstream cytokine release, independent of melanocortin receptors.
