KPV 10mg — Anti-Inflammatory Research Peptide
KPV 10mg is a synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. This compound has attracted sustained research interest for its potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, particularly its capacity to attenuate pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling without producing the broader hormonal effects associated with the parent alpha-MSH peptide.
Research Applications
Investigations into KPV have concentrated on its ability to inhibit NF-kB activation and suppress pro-inflammatory cytokine release, including IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta. Research has also examined its interaction with melanocortin receptors — particularly MC1R and MC3R — and its modulatory effects on immune cell activity. Studies exploring gastrointestinal inflammation models, skin barrier function, and cellular immune responses have all utilised KPV for its selective anti-inflammatory profile.
Formulation & Purity
Supplied as a high-purity white lyophilised powder, this product exceeds >99% purity as verified by HPLC analysis. Its freeze-dried formulation ensures long-term structural stability, maintaining peptide integrity throughout storage and transport. Researchers may reconstitute the compound using bacteriostatic water or a sterile diluent suited to their experimental protocol.
Intended Use
KPV 10mg is intended exclusively for in vitro and non-clinical scientific research. It is not approved for human or animal therapeutic, diagnostic, or medicinal use. All handling and experimentation must be conducted by trained professionals within appropriate controlled laboratory environments.
