KPV – 5mg

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In controlled laboratory settings, it is used to explore melanocortin-related biochemical pathways, peptide–receptor interactions, and intracellular mechanisms associated with regulatory immune signaling. Foundational studies indexed under PMID: 12819043 highlight its role in modulating melanocortin peptide activity in vitro.

As a small and structurally stable peptide, KPV is widely implemented in mechanistic assays investigating receptor-independent α-MSH fragment activity, NF-κB–associated pathways, peptide-mediated cellular responses, and biochemical interactions involving innate regulatory signaling. Its predictable molecular behavior makes it suitable for in-vitro research models requiring consistent peptide exposure and reproducible pathway mapping.

The lyophilized research-grade form ensures stability, purity, and precision for laboratory applications centered on peptide fragment characterization and intracellular regulatory pathway analysis.
