Buy KPV Research Peptide

Representing the minimal C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, KPV has attracted preclinical attention for its activity in signalling pathways distinct from classical melanocortin receptor engagement. Also designated Alpha-MSH(11-13), carries the molecular formula C20H34N6O5 and a molecular weight of 438.52 g/mol. Its sequence Lys-Pro-Val comprises the final three residues of the alpha-MSH tridecapeptide. Produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis.

In vitro studies using NF-kB luciferase reporter systems have investigated whether Alpha-MSH(11-13) modulates inflammatory transcription factor activation through direct intracellular uptake and nuclear translocation rather than cell-surface receptor engagement. In vivo rodent models have examined the biodistribution of radiolabelled KPV to determine whether the tripeptide accumulates in tissues with high inflammatory signalling burden.
