What it is
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is the C terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
How it works
In research models, KPV is studied in pathways related to NF-κB signaling and inflammation marker modulation.
What researchers explore it for
Researchers have explored KPV in inflammation pathway research, in gut-research models, and in skin biology research.
Safety and interactions
KPV is for laboratory research use only and is not for human consumption. Not medical advice.
Research notes
Peptide family: melanocortin derived peptides. Currently on PCAC review docket — Apothify is not shipping KPV at V1 launch.
