KPV is a tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH studied in anti-inflammatory and gastrointestinal research.
What is KPV?
KPV is a tripeptide — lysine-proline-valine — corresponding to the C-terminal (11–13) fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It retains much of the anti-inflammatory research interest of the parent hormone in a small, stable fragment.
How KPV is studied
In laboratory and model systems, KPV is investigated for anti-inflammatory signaling and gastrointestinal research:
- Anti-inflammatory pathways, including work on NF-κB signaling.
- Gastrointestinal / gut-barrier models — including transport research via PepT1.
- Melanocortin-pathway studies.
Forms & handling
KPV is supplied lyophilized and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water; store cold and protected from light. See the storage guide and reconstitution guide.
Commonly studied alongside
KPV is often co-studied with BPC-157 in gut research and appears in the KLOW blend. See the healing & recovery guide.
