Product Overview

KPV (Lysine–Proline–Valine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is widely studied for its potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, particularly within epithelial tissues of the skin and gastrointestinal tract.

Unlike full-length α-MSH, KPV does not stimulate melanogenesis, making it a valuable research peptide for inflammation-focused studies without pigmentary changes. Research shows that KPV can interact with melanocortin receptors—primarily MC1R—to help suppress key pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.

This targeted immune-regulating activity makes KPV a prominent candidate in research models involving epithelial repair, mucosal healing, and localized or systemic inflammation.

Intended Applications

  • Research on mucosal inflammation and gastrointestinal epithelial healing

  • Studies involving cytokine suppression and immune-regulation pathways

  • Dermatological inflammation and wound-healing models

  • Investigations into epithelial barrier recovery in skin and GI tissues

Storage & Handling

  • Store lyophilized peptide at –20°C in a sealed, dry, light-protected vial.

  • Reconstitute with sterile bacteriostatic water using aseptic laboratory technique.

  • Store reconstituted solution refrigerated and use within appropriate research timelines.

  • Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
