Description
High-Level Summary
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide fragment derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is extensively studied for its potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects without the pigment-inducing properties of full-length α-MSH. KPV has shown promise in gastrointestinal, dermatological, and autoimmune disease models, offering researchers a unique tool for exploring cytokine regulation, epithelial repair, and mucosal immune response.
– Form: Lyophilized peptide
– Purity: ≥99%
– Origin: Manufactured and tested in the USA
– Certifications: Certificate of Analysis (COA) included with every order
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
KPV exerts anti-inflammatory effects by:
– Inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β)
– Blocking NF-κB signaling pathway
– Supporting epithelial barrier integrity and wound repair
– Modulating immune cell infiltration and oxidative stress
– Interacting with melanocortin receptors, especially MC1R
Research Applications
– Inflammatory bowel disease models (e.g., ulcerative colitis)
– Dermatological inflammation (e.g., eczema, psoriasis)
– Wound healing and tissue repair studies
– Gut-immune axis exploration
– Cytokine and oxidative stress modulation
Key Benefits for Research
– Non-pigmenting anti-inflammatory peptide
