Research Peptide

KPV 10 mg

Research-grade lyophilized peptide powder supplied in a sterile glass vial. KPV is the tripeptide Lys–Pro–Val, representing the C-terminal active fragment of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), investigated in controlled laboratory settings for its role in anti-inflammatory signaling, epithelial barrier function, and melanocortin-pathway research.

Reconstitution

Bacteriostatic Water 10 ml

In laboratory workflows, lyophilized research peptides are typically handled with suitable sterile diluents such as bacteriostatic water (BAC), which may help support stable preparation and consistent laboratory handling.

Research Overview

KPV is a tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of α-MSH and is widely used in laboratory settings as a tool compound for investigating melanocortin-related anti-inflammatory signaling, epithelial barrier integrity, and cellular stress responses in skin and intestinal research models. No therapeutic or clinical claims are made or implied.

Primary Research Areas

Anti-Inflammatory Pathways
Experimental models investigating suppression of pro-inflammatory signaling and modulation of cytokine and chemokine responses.
Intestinal Barrier & Epithelial Integrity
Research focused on tight-junction proteins, epithelial repair dynamics, barrier function, and responses under inflammatory challenge.
Skin & Keratinocyte Models
Experimental systems exploring oxidative stress, inflammatory pathways, keratinocyte behaviour, and melanocortin-related effects in skin cells.
Melanocortin & α-MSH Signaling
Studies in which KPV serves as the minimal α-MSH fragment to probe receptor-mediated anti-inflammatory and protective signaling mechanisms.
Laboratory handling note:
Lyophilized peptides are commonly reconstituted using sterile research diluents such as bacteriostatic water (BAC).
