KPV
Alpha-MSH tripeptide studied for anti-inflammatory and gut-barrier research applications.
Testing & quality
Every batch is supplier-tested for identity and purity and randomly verified by independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry.
About KPV
KPV is the last three building blocks of a natural hormone called alpha-MSH. That tiny tail keeps the hormone's anti-inflammatory effect but leaves out the part that darkens skin, so it is a clean tool for studying inflammation by itself.
Research covers how it quiets NF-kB — a master switch for inflammation — plus its effects on the gut lining and colitis models. Supplied freeze-dried at 99%+ purity for laboratory research only.
What animal studies have reported
These are outcomes published in peer-reviewed animal (preclinical) research on KPV. They describe results seen in laboratory animals only.
- Reduced colon inflammation and tissue damage in mouse colitis models
- Improved gut lining integrity
- Less skin inflammation in rodent dermatitis studies
Animal findings do not predict results in humans. Nothing here is a claim about human use — this product is sold for laboratory research only.
Compound classification
Tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of α-MSH.
Mechanism studied in the literature
Studied for downstream anti-inflammatory signaling via NF-κB modulation and melanocortin pathway effects in preclinical intestinal and dermal models.
Research areas
- Intestinal barrier function research
- Inflammatory bowel disease (preclinical models)
- Dermatology and inflammation research
- Melanocortin signaling biology
