A closer look
The details
behind the compound.
Overview
KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment (residues 11–13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It retains the anti-inflammatory character of the parent hormone while lacking its pigment-inducing activity — the compact 'active message sequence' first characterized in 1989.
It is a compact reference standard in the recovery category, studied for its signaling role in models of cellular inflammation response.
