KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). Despite its small size, a molecular weight of just 341.43 g/mol, it has attracted significant research attention for its interactions with melanocortin receptors and downstream inflammatory signaling pathways.
Research literature has examined KPV’s potential role in intestinal epithelial function, cytokine modulation, and skin barrier models. Its tripeptide structure enables rapid cellular uptake, making it a practical compound for in-vitro and in-vivo inflammatory response studies.
