About This Compound

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (lysine-proline-valine) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is studied in preclinical models for anti-inflammatory activity that appears to act intracellularly on NF-kB and MAP-kinase signaling rather than through melanocortin receptors, which is why research interest centers on inflammation without pigmentation effects.
