Description
KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment derived from the hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). This compound has been specifically researched to prove to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties in laboratory environments without triggering the pigment-producing effects of its parent hormone. In cellular studies, KPV is observed to enter cells via the PepT1 transporter and inhibit the NF-kappaB pathway, a key regulator of inflammation. It is a primary subject of investigation for models of dermatological irritation, wound healing, and gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders (such as IBD).
