KPV 10mg

KPV 10mg – Immunomodulatory Peptide for Gut and Skin Research

KPV is a tripeptide composed of the amino acids Lysine, Proline, and Valine. It is a fragment of the melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) and has emerged as a significant research compound due to its potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.

Composition and Function

KPV acts by binding to melanocortin receptors, which are expressed on various immune cells. This interaction triggers a cascade of anti-inflammatory signals, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It has been shown to be effective in models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other chronic inflammatory conditions.

Research Applications

KPV is used in research to study inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. It is particularly valuable in studies investigating gut health, skin conditions, and systemic immune regulation. Its potential to modulate the immune response without significant side effects makes it a promising compound for therapeutic research.

Storage and Handling

Store KPV in a lyophilized state at -20°C, protected from light. After reconstitution, it should be stored at 4°C and used promptly. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
