KPV — Research overview
KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the C-terminus of alpha-MSH, studied for anti-inflammatory signaling in laboratory research.
KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine)
C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)
Retains the anti-inflammatory core of α-MSH
Studied for modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways
Investigated in gut and skin research models
Small, stable sequence frequently studied alongside repair peptides
