KPV – Tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) Research Peptide
Compound Name: KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine)
Classification: Research Peptide – Tripeptide
Description:
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide composed of lysine, proline, and valine and represents a biologically active fragment derived from alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In controlled laboratory research environments, KPV is widely studied for its role in peptide-mediated signaling, cellular regulation, and interactions associated with melanocortin-related pathways.
In research settings, KPV is commonly utilized in biochemical and in-vitro model systems to investigate peptide–receptor interactions, cellular signaling mechanisms, and regulatory pathways associated with immune and inflammatory signaling networks. Due to its defined peptide structure and relevance within melanocortin-derived signaling pathways, KPV serves as a valuable tool in studies examining cellular communication and peptide-regulated biological responses.
This compound is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form to enhance stability for controlled laboratory research applications.
