KPV is the tripeptide sequence Lys-Pro-Val, which represents the C-terminal fragment of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike its parent hormone, KPV does not have melanotropic (tanning) properties but retains powerful biological activity. It is highly regarded in research for its potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial functions.

Key Features & Mechanism:

• Potent Anti-Inflammatory: KPV is a powerful regulator of inflammation. It works by inhibiting pro-inflammatory pathways and reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines. Its mechanism is unique in that it can enter the cell nucleus to directly influence the inflammatory response, making it a subject of interest for chronic inflammatory conditions.

• Gut Health & IBD: A significant area of research for KPV is its effect on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Studies suggest it can help reduce inflammation directly in the gastrointestinal tract and aid in healing the gut lining.

• Skin & Wound Healing: KPV has demonstrated significant antimicrobial properties against common pathogens. When applied topically in research settings, it has been shown to accelerate wound healing, reduce infection, and calm inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

• Form: This product is supplied as 10mg of lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in a sterile vial. It requires reconstitution with a suitable solvent, such as bacteriostatic water, before use in a research setting.

Note: KPV – 10mg is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and development purposes only. It is not intended for human or veterinary use.
