Research-grade KPV peptide for targeted anti-inflammatory and gut health studies.
⚠️ For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val; sequence: Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a bioactive tripeptide representing the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This isolated fragment delivers potent anti-inflammatory effects without the pigmentation, appetite, or hormonal effects associated with the full α-MSH molecule.
KPV directly blocks nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) nuclear translocation, preventing the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes. This mechanism has been documented in multiple cell culture and animal models of inflammation.
Research demonstrates KPV inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways involved in inflammation amplification, including ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK cascades.
KPV binds to melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R) on immune cells including monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, dampening inflammatory responses through receptor-mediated signaling.
Studies show KPV reduces production of key pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, while promoting anti-inflammatory IL-10 expression in certain contexts.
Research indicates KPV promotes intestinal and skin epithelial barrier integrity and repair, supporting the protective barrier function compromised during inflammatory conditions.
