KPV
Alpha-MSH tripeptide fragment for inflammation pathway research
Select size
For research purposes only. Not for human consumption.
Mechanism of Action
A tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH (Lys-Pro-Val) studied for inflammatory signaling modulation, epithelial barrier support, and immune pathway regulation.
How It Works
- 1
Suppresses NF-κB activation in inflammatory pathway models
- 2
Modulates pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling including TNF-α and IL-6
- 3
Supports epithelial barrier integrity in gastrointestinal and tissue research models
- 4
Provides focused anti-inflammatory activity without the broader melanocortin effects of full alpha-MSH
Key Research Benefits
- Inflammation pathway research
- NF-κB modulation
- Epithelial barrier studies
- Immune signaling support
KPV is commonly studied as a targeted anti-inflammatory peptide fragment, especially in models involving tissue irritation, gut barrier function, and cytokine-mediated inflammatory response.
