Third-party testedSynthetic Tripeptide
KPV
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (lysine-proline-valine) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Research examines its interaction with inflammatory signalling pathways and epithelial cell models in vitro.
About the compound
What KPV is.
KPV is the final three amino acids of alpha-MSH. Despite its size it appears widely in research on how cells respond to inflammatory signals, including work in gut inflammation models.

Research
What KPV has been studied for.
A plain-language summary of the published work. Almost all of it is in cells and animals — where a study was done in people, it says so.
01
Intestinal inflammation
KPV is the tail end of alpha-MSH, a hormone the body already makes. Mouse models of colitis have been used to look at whether it reduces inflammation in the gut lining.
02
How it gets into cells
Laboratory work has studied the transporter that carries KPV into intestinal cells, which is part of why it is studied in gut models specifically.
03
Inflammatory signalling
Cell studies have measured its effect on NF-kB, one of the main switches controlling inflammatory gene activity.
04
Skin and wound models
A smaller body of work has looked at topical application in laboratory skin models.
