- 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.
