KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring tripeptide fragment derived from the C-terminal of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is widely researched for its potent anti-inflammatory, immune-modulating, and gut-protective properties
A 10mg vial of KPV is typically supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder for controlled laboratory use or analytical research.
Key Research Points
- Mechanism: KPV mimics the natural anti-inflammatory signaling of α-MSH without causing skin pigmentation.
- Target Areas: Primarily studied in cell and animal models for inflammatory bowel conditions, mucosal barrier function, and skin inflammation.
- Bioavailability: Unlike many larger peptides, its short three-amino-acid chain provides excellent cellular penetration.
- Safety: In rodent models, a human-equivalent dose starts around 0.2mg, but standard dosages depend strictly on the specific study or protocol.
