KPV Peptide

10mg · Lyophilized Powder · ≥98%

KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide fragment derived from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Consisting of the amino acid sequence Lys-Pro-Val, it retains the anti-inflammatory properties of the parent hormone without melanogenic activity. Research has investigated its effects on inflammatory signaling pathways, particularly NF-κB inhibition, in skin and gastrointestinal tissue models.

TB-500 5mg lyophilized peptide vial — Healthy Aminos

TB-500

5mg · Lyophilized powder

TB-500 is a synthetic analog of Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4), a 43-amino acid peptide that occurs naturally in most mammalian tissues and cell types. Thymosin Beta-4 was first isolated from calf thymus tissue in the 1960s by Dr. Allan Goldstein at the National Institutes of Health. It operates primarily through its interaction with G-actin (globular actin), regulating actin polymerization which is fundamental to cell motility and migration. Published research has examined its effects in cardiac, dermal, corneal, and neurological models.
