KPV
#1027
Lyophilized Peptide

KPV 10mg

KPV is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Kannengiesser et al. reported anti-inflammatory effects that were at least partially independent of MC1R signaling in mouse colitis models. This does not establish independence from every melanocortin receptor. Supplied strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory use only. Not for human or animal use.

Mechanism of Action

Dalmasso et al. reported PepT1-mediated KPV uptake and reduced NF-κB/MAP kinase signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in human intestinal epithelial and immune cell lines. These findings do not establish direct binding of KPV to the p65 subunit. Kannengiesser et al. found effects that were at least partially independent of MC1R signaling in mouse colitis; they did not establish absence of binding to all melanocortin receptors.
