KPV
KPV is a tripeptide derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and is studied in research models for its interaction with inflammatory signaling pathways [1,2].
This peptide is for research purposes only. Not for human consumption.
Description
Inflammatory Signaling Context
KPV is examined in experimental systems for its relationship with cytokine signaling and inflammatory mediators [1]. As a fragment of α-MSH, it allows researchers to study pathway-specific signaling effects without the full peptide structure, supporting targeted mechanistic analysis.
Cellular Communication Research
Research models investigate how KPV influences intracellular signaling cascades associated with immune response modulation and epithelial cell behavior [2]. These studies focus on transcriptional markers, receptor interactions, and pathway-level signaling dynamics.
Peptide Fragment Studies
KPV is frequently included in comparative peptide studies evaluating structure-function relationships among α-MSH-derived fragments. Its short sequence and stability support reproducible signaling analysis across experimental platforms [1].
Key Specs
• Peptide length: 3 amino acids
• Research context: inflammatory and cytokine signaling
• References: PubChem, PubMed [1,2]
