KPV

Description

Research Use Only. This material is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research by qualified professionals. It is not a medicine, supplement, cosmetic ingredient or veterinary product, and it is not for human or animal consumption. The research summary below describes published scientific literature; it is not a claim of effect, benefit or suitability for any person.

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring tripeptide, specifically the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). While α-MSH is known for pigment-related effects, KPV has been studied in published in vitro and animal models of inflammatory signalling, separately from pigmentation pathways. Supplied as lyophilised material for in-vitro laboratory research.

Research context

Published work on KPV has focused on areas such as intestinal inflammation models, inflammatory signaling pathways, tissue repair models, antimicrobial activity, and proposed mechanisms of action.

The product is intended for scientific research and development purposes only. Chemical substances shall not be used as a drug, medicine, active substance, medical aid, cosmetic product, a substance for production of a cosmetic product neither for human consumption that is any food or food supplement or otherwise similarly used on humans or animals. Intended only for in-vitro research, such as Receptor-ligand binding studies, Enzyme activity assays, Cell proliferation assays, Cell signaling assays, Epitope mapping, etc. Do not order for personal use, clinical use, injection, compounding, resale as a supplement, or any project that requires a specific assay not shown for the relevant batch.
