Peptide Class: Anti-Inflammatory Peptide / Immune-Modulating Peptide
OVERVIEW
KPV is a short synthetic tripeptide composed of the amino acids Lysine–Proline–Valine (KPV). It is derived from the C-terminal region of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a hormone involved in regulating inflammation and immune responses.
In laboratory research, KPV is studied for its potential role in inflammation modulation, immune system regulation, and gut health research. Because of its small size and stability, KPV has gained interest in studies examining skin conditions, inflammatory pathways, and gastrointestinal health models.
POTENTIAL RESEARCH BENEFITS
Inflammation Modulation
Investigated for its ability to influence inflammatory signaling pathways.
Immune System Regulation
Studied for its potential to help regulate immune responses and cytokine activity.
Gastrointestinal Research
Often examined in research involving intestinal inflammation and gut barrier health.
Skin Health
Explored in dermatological research related to skin irritation, redness, and inflammatory conditions.
Antimicrobial Activity
Some studies investigate KPV for potential antimicrobial and protective properties.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
KPV is believed to work by interacting with inflammatory signaling pathways in the immune system.
Research suggests:
Reduce production of pro-inflammatory cytokines
Influence NF-κB signaling, a pathway involved in inflammation
Support immune balance and cellular protection
Because of these mechanisms, KPV is widely studied in anti-inflammatory and immune regulation research.

STORAGE:
To maintain product stability and quality:
Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term storage.
Short-term storage may be maintained at 2–8°C (refrigerated).
Keep the vial dry, sealed, and protected from light.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, as this may reduce peptide stability.
Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within a short timeframe according to laboratory protocols.
For Research Use Only
