KPV

KPV (Research Grade)

Product Overview:

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide derived from the C-terminal fragment of Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (a-MSH). In molecular biology, KPV is studied for its unique ability to modulate cellular pathways without the melanotropic effects associated with the parent molecule. It is a vital tool for researchers investigating the dynamics of intracellular signaling and cytokine regulation.

Key Technical Specifications:

• Sequence: Lys-Pro-Val
