Alpha-MSH C-Terminal Tripeptide | Research Grade

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), retaining the core anti-inflammatory signalling properties of the parent peptide while presenting as a stable, low molecular weight compound. It has attracted strong research interest in gut biology, inflammatory disease models, and wound healing research.

Research Interest Areas: Extensively studied in intestinal inflammation models for its potential to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling, particularly in IBD and colitis research. Examined for direct intracellular anti-inflammatory activity via NF-kB pathway modulation. Studied in wound healing for accelerated tissue repair and reduced inflammatory burden at wound sites. Of interest in gut microbiome research for epithelial barrier integrity effects.

Primary research areas: Gut biology | Anti-inflammatory signalling | Wound healing | IBD research | Epithelial barrier function
