KPV is a short tripeptide (Lys–Pro–Val) derived from the C-terminal region of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In preclinical research, KPV is studied primarily for its role in inflammatory signaling modulation, immune regulation, and epithelial barrier biology.

KPV exerts its effects primarily through direct inhibition of the NF-κB inflammatory signaling cascade—one of the master regulators of the inflammatory response—and has been shown to enter cells and translocate to the nucleus, where it directly suppresses inflammatory gene transcription.

Research Uses:
Powerful anti-inflammatory, perfect for gut issues such as IBS, leaky gut and Crohn’s. Works well for skin inflammatory diseases such as eczema. Also great for colon health.
