KPV Lys-Pro-Val Tripeptide

For in vitro research use only. KPV is not for human or veterinary consumption, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of any condition.

KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide consisting of the amino acids lysine, proline, and valine. It corresponds to the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Preclinical studies have investigated how KPV interacts with inflammatory signalling pathways, particularly NF-κB-mediated cytokine expression, and its potential role in tissue-repair and mucosal-healing models.

Research overview

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a research-grade synthetic peptide supplied as a lyophilised powder. Preclinical studies have examined its interaction with the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and its downstream effects on the NF-κB inflammatory signalling pathway. Cell-based models have investigated how KPV affects the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-6. Mucosal healing studies in rodent models have examined its potential relevance to intestinal tissue-repair processes. For research use only. Not for human or veterinary consumption.
