Research overview

About this compound

KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) corresponding to the last three amino acids, residues 11 to 13, of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH).

How it is used in research

It is used in cell-culture studies of inflammatory signalling, including NF-kB pathway activity, and is taken up by cells through the PepT1 transporter.

Analytical characterization

Synthetic peptides are usually characterized by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which reports purity as the share of the main peak, and by mass spectrometry, which confirms that the measured molecular mass matches the expected sequence. Results for a specific lot appear under Lab results once they have been posted.
