Research Grade
KPV 50mg
Anti-inflammatory tripeptide & gut repair
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects independently of the melanocortin receptor pathway, acting directly on immune cells to suppress NF-κB signalling. Extensively studied for inflammatory bowel disease, wound healing, and skin inflammation.
- ✓Potent NF-κB inhibition & anti-inflammatory action
- ✓Studied for IBD, Crohn's & colitis models
- ✓Promotes wound healing & skin repair
- ✓Acts independently of melanocortin receptors
- ✓≥99% purity — HPLC verified
Mechanism of Action
KPV is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment of α-MSH (α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). It exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NF-κB signalling and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6). Research focuses on its role in gut inflammation, wound healing, and innate immune modulation.
