Description and specifications
Description
KPV is a short tripeptide fragment with the sequence Lys-Pro-Val. In research models, the peptide is investigated for its role in immune response, inflammatory signalling and skin barrier processes. Supplied as a lyophilised powder for reconstitution in the laboratory. For research use only (in vitro / laboratory use). Not for consumption, diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Research summary
KPV is a short tripeptide with the sequence Lys-Pro-Val and forms the C-terminal part of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It has been studied as the minimal sequence for several of the anti-inflammatory effects associated with alpha-MSH. Most of the research has been done in cells, animal models and formulation technology.
Level of evidence: KPV has several relevant preclinical publications, but few robust human data. It should therefore be presented as a laboratory tool for inflammation and barrier models, not as a clinically documented substance.
This information is written for a laboratory and research context. The product is not intended for consumption, diagnostics or therapeutic use.

Read the full guide (5 studies)KPV (Lys-Pro-Val)
In laboratory studies, KPV appears able to influence inflammatory signalling in epithelial and immune cells. Some studies investigate melanocortin receptors, while others point to receptor-independent mechanisms or transport through peptide transporters. This makes KPV interesting for barrier and inflammation models, particularly in the gut and skin.
What is being researched?
- Inflammatory signalling in keratinocytes and airway epithelium
- Mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease
- Targeted delivery systems for KPV in colitis models
- Antimicrobial effects of alpha-MSH/KPV fragments
