KPV

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been studied for its potent anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, particularly in epithelial and mucosal tissue models.

Research has investigated KPV's ability to downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, accelerate wound closure, and modulate immune responses in gut and skin tissue. Its small tripeptide structure allows for efficient cellular uptake and has made it a focus of dermatological and gastroenterological research.
