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
  • PepT1 transporter-mediated uptake
  • Murine colitis models
  • Alpha-MSH fragment structure-activity relationships
