KPV
KPV
KPV is the tripeptide Lysine-Proline-Valine, the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). KPV lacks the His-Phe-Arg-Trp message core that melanocortin receptors recognise, so research has instead focused on PepT1-mediated cellular uptake followed by intracellular signalling, particularly in mucosal and gut-barrier models where intact α-MSH signalling is preserved without the pigmentation effects of the parent peptide.
- Form: Lyophilized powder
- Unit size: 10mg per vial
- Storage: Store at -20°C or lower
For research purposes only. Not for human or veterinary use.
