KPV
The C-terminal α-MSH tripeptide studied for NF-κB and inflammatory-signaling modulation.
Research Overview
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Research focuses on its inhibition of NF-κB signaling and reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in cell models.
Notably, studies report anti-inflammatory activity that appears independent of melanocortin receptors, suggesting an intracellular mechanism — a focus of in-vitro inflammation research.
