KPV

Description

KPV (CAS:67727-97-3)  peptide (Lys-Pro-Val) is a synthetic tripeptide fragment derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH, positions 11-13), supplied by AusPepLabs for laboratory and analytical research applications. As one of the most studied tripeptide fragments in inflammatory signaling research, KPV is valued for its ability to enter cells via the PepT1 oligopeptide transporter in experimental models. Each vial is independently verified to ≥99% HPLC purity with a Certificate of Analysis available on request. For scientific research use only.

Why Research Laboratories Select KPV

KPV is among the most studied C-terminal α-MSH fragment tripeptides in current inflammatory signaling and epithelial biology research. Its small three amino acid structure allows direct cellular uptake via the PepT1 oligopeptide transporter in experimental models, making it a useful tool for laboratories investigating NF-κB pathway modulation, MAPK signaling, and epithelial barrier biology without full-length melanocortin receptor activation.

• Three amino acid synthetic tripeptide – Lys-Pro-Val sequence derived from α-MSH positions 11-13
• Enters cells via PepT1 oligopeptide transporter in experimental models – studied at nanomolar concentrations
• Investigated for NF-κB nuclear translocation inhibition in intestinal epithelial cell models
• Studied in the context of ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 MAPK signaling in laboratory research
• Referenced in peer-reviewed literature on inflammatory signaling and epithelial barrier research
• Lyophilized format ensures stability and reproducibility across experimental runs
