KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a synthetic tripeptide derived from the C-terminal sequence of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).

It is known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, acting independently of melanocortin receptors by modulating NF-κB signaling and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In research models, KPV is studied for its ability to support gut barrier integrity, promote tissue healing, reduce intestinal inflammation, and provide benefits in dermatological and systemic inflammatory conditions.

Key Research Areas:

  • Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects
  • Gastrointestinal health and IBD models
  • Skin repair, wound healing, and dermatological applications
  • Cytokine regulation and oxidative stress
  • Tissue protection and recovery studies
