Fokker-Planck equation for a Markov semigroup with densities
$begingroup$
Let
$(E,mathcal E)$ be a measurable space
$(kappa_t)_{tge0}$ be a Markov semigroup on $(E,mathcal E)$ and $$kappa_tf:=intkappa_t(;cdot;,{rm d}y)f(y)$$ for $$fin F_0:=left{f:Etomathbb Rmid ftext{ is }mathcal Etext{-measurable and }left(kappa_tleft|fright|right)(x)<inftytext{ for all }xin Etext{ and }tge0right}$$
$Fsubseteq F_0$ be a $mathbb R$-Banach space containing the elementary $mathcal E$-measurable functions as a dense subset
Assume $$T(t)f:=kappa_tf;;;text{for }fin Ftext{ and }tge0$$ is a $C^0$-semigroup on $F$. Let $$operatorname{orb}f:[0,infty)to F;,;;;tmapsto T(t)f$$ for $fin F$ and $(mathcal D(A),A)$ denote the infinitesimal generator of $(T(t))_{tge0}$. We know that $$left(operatorname{orb}fright)'(t)=AT(t)f=T(t)Af;;;text{for all }finmathcal D(A)text{ and }tge0.tag1$$
Now, assume that there is a $mathcal Eotimesmathcal E$-measurable $p_t:Etimes Eto[0,infty)$ with $$kappa_t(x,B)=int_Bp(x,y)lambdaleft({rm d}yright);;;text{for all }(x,B)in Etimesmathcal Etag2$$ for some measure $lambda$ on $(E,mathcal E)$ for all $tge0$. It's easy to see that $$p_{s+t}(x,;cdot;)=int p_s(x,y)p_t(y,;cdot;)lambdaleft({rm d}yright);;;lambdatext{-almost everywhere for all }xin Etag3$$ for all $s,tge0$.
Does $(p_t)_{tge0}$ satisfy an identity like $(1)$?
I guess the answer is yes and the corresponding identity is called the Fokker-PLanck equation. However, I couldn't find this equation in this general setting. Clearly, we need regularity assumptions on $(p_t)_{tge0}$, but which assumptions do we really need to impose?
I could imagine that we're able to show something like $$fracpartial{partial t}p_t(x,y)=(Ap_t(x,;cdot;)(y).$$

The equation at the very end of your question is known as Kolmogorov backward equation. I'm not aware of general conditions for the equation to hold, apart from the diffusion case. It already starts with the problem that it is not clear that $p$ is regular enough to be in the domain of $A$ and to admit a time derivative...

In general, the time derivative of the transition density of a Markov process does not need to be locally bounded (in the sense which you stated in your previous comment). If it was locally bounded, then indeed everything would work out quite nicely.
