What is KPV?
KPV is a tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from alpha-MSH (α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone), researched for its non-pigmenting anti-inflammatory capabilities. Unlike its full-length counterpart, KPV does not cause melanogenesis, making it an ideal compound for investigating immune regulation and inflammation in skin and gut models.
Researchers are exploring its use in studies involving gut disorders, autoimmune reactions, topical inflammation, and systemic cytokine suppression.
