KPV 5mg
KPV Peptide – Anti-Inflammatory & Immunomodulatory Research Compound | ≥98% Purity
KPV (Lysine–Proline–Valine) is a short-chain tripeptide derived from the C-terminal region of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is widely studied in laboratory settings for its potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, particularly in models involving inflammatory signaling, gut health, and immune response regulation.
Due to its small molecular structure and targeted activity, KPV has gained attention in research focused on cytokine modulation, inflammatory bowel conditions, and systemic inflammatory responses.
Mechanism of Action
KPV exerts its effects through modulation of inflammatory and immune-related pathways.
Cytokine Regulation
- Downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β
- Supports balanced immune signaling
- Reduces excessive inflammatory responses in research models
NF-κB Pathway Modulation
- Inhibits activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)
- Reduces transcription of inflammatory mediators
- Supports cellular protection against inflammatory stress
Gut Barrier Support
- Investigated for its role in maintaining intestinal integrity
- Studied in models of inflammatory bowel conditions
- Supports epithelial repair and barrier function
Research Significance
KPV is commonly utilized in experimental models studying:
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and gut inflammation
- Cytokine signaling and immune modulation
- Chronic inflammatory conditions
- Skin inflammation and wound healing
- Systemic inflammatory response pathways
Its targeted anti-inflammatory activity makes it a valuable compound for research involving immune balance and inflammation control.
Key Research Applications
- Anti-inflammatory pathway research
- Cytokine modulation studies
- Gut health and intestinal integrity models
- Immune system regulation investigations
- Skin and tissue inflammation research
