KPV is a synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) representing the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), retaining elements of the parent melanocortin’s functional domain.
  • Sequence: Lys-Pro-Val (3 amino acids)
  • Origin: Derived from α-MSH C-terminus
  • Research Focus Areas: Anti-inflammatory melanocortin pathways, gut barrier integrity
  • Common Models: Intestinal epithelial cultures, inflammatory bowel models
  • Mechanistic Interests: Melanocortin receptor interactions, pro-inflammatory cytokine suppression
It is used in research to investigate epithelial barrier maintenance, cytokine network balance, and immune-mediated responses in cellular, tissue, and organoid experimental platforms.
