What is KPV?
KPV is the tripeptide Lysine-Proline-Valine, the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research has examined its activity at melanocortin-related anti-inflammatory pathways, particularly in mucosal and gut-barrier models where α-MSH signalling is preserved without the pigmentation effects of the parent peptide. Studies have looked at NF-κB pathway modulation, cytokine attenuation and epithelial barrier integrity in inflammatory research models. KPV is supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro laboratory research only, not for human or veterinary use.
Published research on KPV is indexed on PubMed.
