Research Applications
- KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that retains anti-inflammatory activity without melanogenic effects.
- Signals through melanocortin receptors to suppress NF-κB activation and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6 in cell models.
- Reduces disease severity in DSS-induced colitis and other intestinal inflammation models, supporting research on gut mucosal inflammation.
- Used in studies of epithelial repair and wound healing where α-MSH-derived peptides promote tissue recovery.
Alpha-MSH C-terminal tripeptide, potent anti-inflammatory (intestinal/systemic), no pigment side effects
