KPV is a tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKPV takes its name from its three residues, lysine, proline and valine. It corresponds to the carboxyl-terminal fragment of alpha-MSH, with a molecular formula of C16H30N4O4 and a molecular weight of 342.43, making it one of the smallest sequences stocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the sequence is so short it is stable and simple to characterise, which is why it recurs in studies of inflammatory-pathway signalling and epithelial barrier models. Research interest rests on how a three-residue fragment retains signalling associated with its parent hormone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragment also lacks the pigmentation-associated role carried by full-length alpha-MSH, so it allows one branch of the parent molecule’s described activity to be examined apart from another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey research areas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInflammatory-pathway signalling and cytokine regulation models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpithelial and intestinal barrier research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelanocortin fragment comparisons against full-length alpha-MSH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid-format peptide stability research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmune-signalling assays in cell culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e capsules in a sealed research bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 capsules (500mcg\/capsule)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 bottle, 3 bottles, or 5 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e C16H30N4O4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 342.43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSequence:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lys-Pro-Val\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOther KPV formats and related research material\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKPV is also stocked as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kpv\"\u003eKPV lyophilized vial\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kpv-nasal-spray\"\u003eKPV nasal spray\u003c\/a\u003e.
