Description
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It is studied in preclinical research for its anti-inflammatory signaling through NF-kappaB pathway modulation.
Research indicates that KPV inhibits NF-kappaB activation, reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production (IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6), and modulates inflammatory cell migration. It serves as a model compound for studying melanocortin-derived peptide signaling independent of melanocortin receptor activation.
