Description

KPV — Research Use Only

Overview

A synthetic three-amino-acid peptide (tripeptide), supplied as a laboratory reagent.

Chemical Identification

Research Areas

• The C-terminal tripeptide (residues 11–13) of α-MSH. It lacks the motif required for melanocortin receptor binding.
• In vitro studies have examined interference with NF-κB nuclear translocation via the importin-α3/p65 (RelA) transport complex.
• Cellular uptake through the PepT1 transporter has been characterised in intestinal and immune cells.
• DSS- and TNBS-induced colitis models in mice have been used, with myeloperoxidase activity and inflammatory markers among the endpoints measured.
• Epithelial cell-culture and transdermal delivery studies across microporated human skin have been reported.

Handling and Storage

Supplied as a lyophilised powder in a sealed vial. Store as stated above, protected from light and moisture, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Any reconstitution must take place in a controlled laboratory setting.
