Description
KPV is a tripeptide fragment (Lysine-Proline-Valine) derived from alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), a naturally occurring hormone involved in inflammation regulation and immune response. Despite its simple structure, KPV displays powerful anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and tissue-healing properties, making it a highly valuable peptide in ongoing research.
Key Research Areas of KPV
-
Inflammation Control – KPV has been shown to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and regulate immune response, making it a promising candidate for chronic inflammatory conditions.
-
Gut Health – Preclinical studies suggest KPV may help restore gut lining integrity and reduce symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
-
Skin and Wound Healing – Research indicates KPV supports epithelial repair and may accelerate recovery in cases of skin injury, burns, or irritation.
-
Antimicrobial Activity – KPV demonstrates protective effects against certain bacterial infections, adding to its potential as a therapeutic peptide.
