Description
KPV is a tripeptide with the sequence Lys-Pro-Val, corresponding to residues 11-13 at the C-terminus of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). Published work has characterized anti-inflammatory activity that appears largely separable from the pigmentary signaling of the parent hormone. Reported mechanism themes include inhibition of NF-kB and MAP kinase inflammatory signaling, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine output, and cellular uptake through the di/tripeptide transporter PepT1. Supplied as a 10mg vial. For research use only.
Research Background
The published KPV literature is predominantly preclinical. Dalmasso and colleagues (Gastroenterology, 2008) reported that nanomolar KPV inhibited NF-kB and MAP kinase activation in human intestinal epithelial and T cells, entered cells via PepT1, and reduced chemically induced colitis in mice. Separate lines of research examined corneal epithelial wound closure, keratinocyte and bronchial epithelial signaling, and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans in vitro. No published human clinical trials of KPV itself exist.
This product is intended strictly for laboratory research use only and is not for human consumption, clinical use, diagnostic use, or any therapeutic application.
