Product Overview:

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a tripeptide fragment of the melanocortin hormone α-MSH and is studied for its potent anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating properties in epithelial tissues. It does not stimulate melanogenesis, making it a favorable candidate for research into localized inflammation control without pigmentary effects.

Research shows that KPV interacts with melanocortin receptors (MC1R) to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, making it of interest in models related to:

• Inflammatory bowel conditions

• Dermatological inflammation

• Wound healing and epithelial regeneration

Applications in Research:

• Investigation of mucosal inflammation and gut epithelial healing

• Research on cytokine suppression and immune signaling

• Models of topical or systemic inflammation control

• Epithelial barrier recovery in skin or GI tract

Storage & Handling:

Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C in a sealed, dry, light-protected vial.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water under sterile lab conditions. Store reconstituted solution refrigerated and use promptly. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
