KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Despite its small size, KPV retains the anti-inflammatory signaling properties of the parent hormone and has been studied for its effects on NF-κB inhibition and inflammatory cytokine modulation.nnEach vial contains lyophilized KPV powder. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water before use in research applications.
