KPV (10mg)

KPV Peptide Product Description
KPV (Lys–Pro–Val) is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). As a small, bioactive peptide, KPV reproduces many of α-MSH’s anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and tissue-protective activities while avoiding full-length melanocortin receptor signaling in some contexts.

In research settings, KPV has been studied for:

Potent anti-inflammatory action — suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines and leukocyte activation
Antimicrobial activity — direct candidacidal and bactericidal effects reported for α-MSH C-terminal fragments including KPV
Mucosal and epithelial protection / wound healing — accelerates epithelial repair in corneal and other epithelial models
Anti-fibrotic and immunomodulatory effects — reduces fibrosis and shifts macrophage phenotypes in preclinical studies
The KPV peptide sequence is a useful research tool for studying innate immune regulation, mucosal defense and novel anti-inflammatory peptide mechanisms.
