Compound information
KPV research data.
Tripeptide Lys-Pro-Val, the C-terminal 11-13 sequence of alpha-MSH
KPV is the tripeptide Lys-Pro-Val, the C-terminal sequence (residues 11-13) of the 13-residue peptide alpha-MSH. It has three residues, the formula C16H30N4O4 and a molecular mass of 342.43 g/mol. Literature variants include the acetylated, amidated form Ac-KPV-NH2. Free KPV carries a basic lysine side chain and a free C-terminal carboxyl group. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder.
Published work on KPV spans conformational analysis by molecular dynamics, structural modification chemistry, melanocortin receptor-binding assays in transfected cell lines and analytical method papers. Several groups have synthesized analogues with added tyrosine or tryptophan residues, or glycoalkylated lysine, to compare binding and enzymatic stability. The references below are limited to chemistry papers.
