Description
KPV 10mg – Anti-Inflammatory Tripeptide Research Compound
KPV is a tripeptide (Lysine-Proline-Valine) that makes up the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). Despite being only three amino acids long, KPV carries much of the parent hormone’s activity in inflammation research models, which has made it a popular minimal-sequence tool in immunology and gut-inflammation research. Supplied as 10mg of lyophilized peptide in a sterile sealed vial.

About KPV in Research
KPV’s appeal to laboratories is its size-to-signal ratio: a three-residue sequence that retains the anti-inflammatory activity studied in the full alpha-MSH hormone. It appears in research on inflammatory signaling pathways, intestinal epithelial models, and immune-cell response systems.
