Literature
Research context
KPV is the smallest fragment of alpha-MSH that retains the parent peptide's activity in inflammation assays, and it does so without engaging melanocortin receptors. Published work covers PepT1-mediated uptake into colonic epithelial cells, NF-κB nuclear translocation, and cytokine profiles in murine colitis models.
Documented research areas
- NF-κB pathway interaction in epithelial cells
