About KPV Peptide UK

KPV is the tripeptide Lys-Pro-Val, corresponding to a short C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Despite its very small size, it has attracted experimental interest because research suggests it can retain aspects of the parent peptide’s anti-inflammatory signalling without requiring the full melanocortin sequence.

KPV Research

KPV research includes inflammatory mediator pathways, intestinal epithelial models, immune signalling and skin or barrier-related systems, with published work examining its anti-inflammatory potential in murine models of inflammatory bowel disease (Learn more). Experimental work has also examined NF-kappaB-related signalling and cytokine responses. The tripeptide is therefore commonly used in mechanistic research on peptide-mediated inflammatory regulation, alongside related barrier-research peptides such as [BPC-157].
