KPV

About this Compound

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a short tripeptide derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It represents the minimal active fragment responsible for many of α-MSH’s anti-inflammatory properties. KPV has been studied in laboratory and preclinical models for its potential role in immune modulation and regulation of inflammatory signaling pathways.

Research Highlights

• Demonstrates suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in laboratory models
• Investigated for modulation of NF-kB and related inflammatory signaling pathways
• Studied in experimental models of intestinal inflammation and mucosal integrity
• Examined for effects on inflammatory skin responses
• Researched for immune signaling regulation without significant melanogenic activity
