Background

About KPV Peptide UK

KPV is the tripeptide Lys-Pro-Val, corresponding to a short C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Despite its very small size, it has attracted experimental interest because research suggests it can retain aspects of the parent peptide's anti-inflammatory signalling without requiring the full melanocortin sequence.

Research

KPV Research

KPV research includes inflammatory mediator pathways, intestinal epithelial models, immune signalling and skin or barrier-related systems, with published work examining its anti-inflammatory potential in murine models of inflammatory bowel disease (Learn more). Experimental work has also examined NF-kappaB-related signalling and cytokine responses. The tripeptide is therefore commonly used in mechanistic research on peptide-mediated inflammatory regulation, alongside related barrier-research peptides such as [BPC-157].

Questions

KPV Frequently Asked Questions

What is KPV?

KPV is the tripeptide Lys-Pro-Val and corresponds to a short fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, supplied by Crown Peptides in 10mg, 30mg and 50mg strengths.

What is KPV researched for?

Experimental research includes inflammatory signalling, intestinal epithelial biology, immune pathways and skin or barrier models.

Is KPV a melanocortin peptide?

It is derived from alpha-MSH, but the three-amino-acid fragment is studied separately from the full melanocortin peptide.

What is the KPV sequence?

The sequence is Lys-Pro-Val, abbreviated KPV.

How is KPV tested?

HPLC and Mass Spectrometry can be used to assess purity and molecular identity, with exact batch values shown on the Certificate of Analysis.
