Product Overview

KPV is a synthetic tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α-MSH) sequence.
It has been widely studied for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and tissue-protective properties, particularly in research exploring immune regulation and barrier-function restoration.

In preclinical research, KPV has demonstrated the ability to modulate NF-κB activity, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and enhance epithelial repair responses.
These characteristics make it a valuable tool for immunology, dermatology, and gastrointestinal-barrier research models.

Applications

• Studies on inflammatory cytokine modulation and immune response regulation.

• Research involving epithelial healing, barrier integrity, and wound repair mechanisms.

• Antimicrobial and antioxidant pathway investigations.

• Use as a reference compound in peptide signaling and inflammation-control studies.
