KPV

Description:

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide fragment derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been the focus of in vitro research for its potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and epithelial protective properties.

Studies suggest KPV may modulate inflammatory signaling pathways, enhance barrier function in epithelial cell cultures, and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, making it an area of interest in gut health, skin research, and wound-healing models.

Specifications:

• Unit Size: 10mg (lyophilized powder, single vial)

Application Context:

KPV is studied in vitro for its potential roles in:

• Modulating inflammation in epithelial and dermal cell cultures
• Supporting barrier function in gut and skin models
• Antimicrobial activity in cell-based research
• Promoting wound repair and epithelial regeneration
• Reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production
