Description:
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been extensively studied in laboratory settings for its potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. KPV is of particular interest in research focused on inflammatory signaling pathways, gastrointestinal health, and immune balance. This peptide is supplied in lyophilized powder form for controlled experimental use.

Research Applications:
KPV is actively researched for potential roles in:

• Inflammation Modulation: Investigating its ability to downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines and signaling pathways.

• Gastrointestinal Research: Studying effects on intestinal inflammation, epithelial integrity, and gut immune balance.

• Immune Regulation: Exploring its role in modulating immune cell activity and inflammatory responses.

• Cellular Protection: Examining protective effects against inflammation-induced cellular stress in experimental models.

Storage and Handling:

• Store lyophilized powder at -20°C in a sealed container.

• Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use promptly.

• Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

• Maintain aseptic handling techniques at all times.

Product Specifications:

• Purity: ≥99% (HPLC Verified)
