About KPV
KPV is a tripeptide with the sequence Lys-Pro-Val. It corresponds to the last three amino acids (residues 11–13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a 13-amino-acid peptide hormone.
Canada Research Labs supplies KPV as 10mg of lyophilized powder in a 3 mL glass vial, packed and shipped from Ontario.
See our KPV research overview.
Research background
Researchers became interested in KPV because it retains some of the anti-inflammatory signaling activity studied in full-length α-MSH while being far shorter. Laboratory work has examined its effects on NF-κB signaling and cytokine production in cell models.
A frequently cited study by Dalmasso and colleagues (Gastroenterology, 2008) examined how KPV is taken up through the PepT1 peptide transporter in intestinal epithelial cells and in mouse models. Most published research on KPV is preclinical.
