KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring tripeptide derived from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has gained attention in immunological and gastrointestinal research for its ability to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulate immune responses without affecting melanogenesis.
Key Benefits:
Anti-Inflammatory Action: Inhibits NF-κB and pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6.
Gut Health Support: Studied in models of colitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for its mucosal healing properties.
Skin Inflammation Research: Explored for its role in reducing dermatitis, psoriasis, and UV-induced damage.
Non-Pigmenting: Unlike full-length α-MSH, KPV does not stimulate melanin production, making it ideal for targeted anti-inflammatory studies.
