KPV Peptide (Lys-Pro-Val)
A short, well-defined tripeptide commonly studied in inflammation-signaling pathways and skin/GI barrier research. For laboratory research use only.
- Research Use Only
- Short Tripeptide
- Commonly Studied: Barrier & Inflammation Signaling
Overview
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a small peptide sequence derived from the C-terminal region of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Due to its compact structure and stability relative to larger peptides, KPV is frequently used in research exploring inflammatory signaling cascades, epithelial barrier integrity, and skin and gastrointestinal models.
Why Researchers Study KPV
Inflammation Signaling
Commonly investigated in cell and tissue models evaluating pro-inflammatory mediators and downstream pathway activity.
Barrier Function Models
Frequently used in epithelial/keratinocyte research examining permeability, irritation responses, and barrier resilience.
Skin & GI Research
Studied across topical and mucosal model systems where inflammation and barrier integrity intersect.
