What it is

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is the three-amino-acid C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It retains the anti-inflammatory activity of the parent hormone without its pigmentation effects in research models.

Where it has been studied

Colitis and intestinal inflammation models
NF-kappa-B signalling in cell culture
Skin inflammation studies
