Description
A Tripeptide Fragment of α-MSH for Anti-Inflammatory Signaling Research
KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment (residues 11–13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Amino Architects supplies KPV as a lyophilized reference compound for laboratory research.
Molecular Profile
- Compound: KPV (Lys-Pro-Val, α-MSH(11-13) fragment)
- Dosage: 10mg lyophilized peptide per vial
- Purity: ≥99.7%, TFA-free
- Form: Sterile lyophilized powder for reconstitution
Research Background
Preclinical and in vitro literature has studied KPV’s interaction with NF-κB signaling in cell-culture and animal models of intestinal inflammation, independent of α-MSH’s pigmentation-related receptor activity. It is used as a reference compound in inflammatory-signaling research.
Storage & Handling
- Store lyophilized powder at or below -4°F prior to reconstitution
- Refrigerate at 36–46°F after reconstitution with bacteriostatic water
- For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.
