Description
Product Overview
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), supplied for laboratory research use only.
Published scientific literature has investigated KPV in relation to melanocortin-related peptide biology, epithelial peptide transport and immune-cell signaling research models.
