KPV

Description

Supplied as a lyophilized powder that must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water prior to research use.

📌 What Is KPV?
KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide (Lysine–Proline–Valine) derived from the hormone α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). It is recognized for its strong anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and tissue-repair properties. KPV plays a role in immune regulation and supports both skin and gastrointestinal health, making it a focus of regenerative and anti-inflammatory research.

🔥 Inflammation Control
-Reduces systemic and localized inflammation by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines
🩹 Skin Repair & Healing
-Encourages recovery of wounds, burns, and irritated skin
🌿 Gut Health Support
-Helps maintain intestinal barrier integrity; studied in models of IBD and colitis
🧴 Dermatological Research
-Explored in topical applications for eczema, psoriasis, and acne
🛡️ Immune Regulation
-Helps balance immune responses without causing immune suppression

⚙️ Mechanism of Action
-Derived from α-MSH, interacting with melanocortin receptors on immune cells
-Inhibits the NF-κB pathway, a key regulator of inflammatory signaling
-Promotes epithelial regeneration and tissue repair in skin and gastrointestinal lining
-Demonstrates antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria and pathogens

📈 Key Benefits
✅ Strong anti-inflammatory effects
✅ Supports tissue and wound healing
✅ Promotes gut barrier and microbiome health
✅ May reduce symptoms associated with IBD or inflammatory skin conditions
✅ Non-steroidal and well-tolerated in research settings

⚠ Note: KPV is a research-grade peptide and is not FDA-approved. Current studies focus on gastrointestinal, dermatological, and systemic inflammatory applications.
