KPV — C-Terminal Tripeptide of α-MSH

KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) corresponding to the C-terminal sequence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In laboratory models it retains much of the studied biological activity of the parent peptide, and it has been the subject of preclinical research on inflammatory signaling pathways, with particular focus on intestinal mucosa and epithelium models.

What it is studied for

In the published preclinical literature, KPV has been investigated in laboratory and in-vitro models for its effects on:

  • Anti-inflammatory activity — down-regulation of NF-kB signalling and pro-inflammatory cytokines
  • Gut inflammation — reduced severity in colitis and inflammatory-bowel-disease models
  • Skin & barrier repair — wound-healing and epithelial-barrier models
  • Antimicrobial activity — reported activity against certain bacteria and fungi

In plain terms: a small but potent anti-inflammatory peptide, studied especially in gut and skin research.
