What is KPV?
KPV is a synthetic tripeptide composed of lysine, proline, and valine. It is derived from the C-terminal end of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and has been studied in preclinical models for its potential anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and epithelial-repair properties.
Mechanism of Interest
KPV is believed to exert its effects through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly in the gut and skin. Research has examined its impact on NF-ÎșB signaling pathways, often associated with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
Why Researchers Study KPV
- Studied for its potential to reduce localized inflammation in skin and gastrointestinal models
- Explored for its immune-calming effects without suppressing overall immune function
- Investigated for wound healing and epithelial barrier restoration
