KPV

KPV (Lysine–Proline–Valine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide fragment derived from the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike the full hormone, KPV has been studied for its unique anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties, making it a distinct research subject in the melanocortin pathway.

In research, KPV is widely investigated for:

• Anti-inflammatory studies – exploring its ability to reduce inflammatory signalling and cytokine activity.

• Immune system research – assessing its effects on immune response regulation and epithelial protection.

• Gut and skin health models – investigating its protective activity in intestinal and dermal tissue studies.

• Antimicrobial research – examining its potential against pathogens in cellular environments.

This peptide has become a valuable focus for laboratories studying inflammation, immune regulation, and epithelial health, offering insight into peptide-based anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
