Research applications
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), retaining anti-inflammatory activity without melanotropic effects. It is studied in cytokine-modulation and NF-κB pathway research, epithelial barrier and mucosal integrity models, wound-healing and dermal regeneration studies, and anti-inflammatory peptide signaling.
