Description
KPV is a research compound derived from the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is widely studied for its potential role in modulating inflammatory pathways, supporting epithelial integrity, and influencing local immune signals.
Current investigations explore KPV’s:
• Interaction with the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R)
• Potential relevance in gut barrier research
• Effects on cytokine signaling environments
• Possible applications in models of tissue repair and recovery
KPV continues to draw interest for its stability, ease of formulation, and its potential involvement in research related to inflammation, recovery signaling, and cellular homeostasis.
