MISSION CRITICAL: For in vitro laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not evaluated by the FDA. Must be 21+.
KPV is a C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-MSH (Lys-Pro-Val) and anti-inflammatory peptide. With the molecular formula C₁₈H₃₃N₅O₄ and a molecular weight of 383.5 g/mol (CAS: 17750-43-5), it presents a well-characterized amino acid structure.
Lys-Pro-ValPublished research demonstrates KPV modulates targeted signaling cascades within cell tissue models (PMID: 39252648).
In cellular environments, KPV exhibits selective binding and corresponding pathway activation (PMID: 30661264).
