KPV (Alpha-MSH Fragment) – Lyophilized Tripeptide – 10mg

$30.00

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH). It is extensively researched for its potent ability to modulate immune responses and suppress inflammatory cytokines without inducing melanogenesis (pigmentation). Our high-yield 10mg lyophilized KPV is HPLC-verified for >99% purity, ensuring precision in demanding in-vitro cellular assays. Strictly for laboratory research and development use only; not for human consumption.

Description

Product Overview In the study of cellular inflammation, isolating specific pathways is critical. KPV represents the anti-inflammatory core of the α-MSH molecule. By utilizing this specific tripeptide fragment, researchers can investigate robust immune modulation without the downstream endocrine effects associated with the full-length hormone.

Mechanism of Action

  • Cytokine Suppression: Research indicates KPV enters the cell and interacts directly with inflammatory signaling molecules, significantly downregulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as NF-kB).

  • Mast Cell Stabilization: It is heavily studied for its dose-dependent ability to stabilize mast cells, reducing histamine release in allergic and inflammatory models.

  • Mucosal & Dermal Defense: Studies show it offers potent cytoprotective effects in models of gastrointestinal stress and epidermal irritation.

Quality Assurance

  • Sequence: Lys-Pro-Val

  • Yield: 10mg per vial

  • Purity: >99% Verified by HPLC

  • Form: Sterile White Lyophilized Powder
