Research Overview
A tiny three-amino-acid fragment of alpha-MSH with an outsized research footprint.
KPV is the final three amino acids of the alpha-MSH hormone. Its small size lets it enter cells easily, and researchers have used it to study immune and inflammatory signaling inside gut and skin cell models.
- Inflammatory signaling inside cells
- Gut and skin cell culture models
- Cell entry compared with the full hormone
- Immune pathway markers
