What Is KPV?

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide derived from the C-terminus of α-MSH. It has been referenced in published preclinical literature. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized research peptide.

Overview

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), supplied as a high-purity lyophilized research peptide. For research use only.

History

KPV was identified through structure-activity studies of α-MSH, primarily from research by Lipton and Catania. The discovery demonstrated that the C-terminal tripeptide retained independent activity distinct from the full-length hormone.
