KPV

A 3-amino-acid synthetic tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the C-terminus of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In preclinical inflammatory research models, this peptide has been shown to inhibit NF-κB activation, a key transcription factor involved in pro-inflammatory signaling.

Its activity is associated with PepT1-mediated cellular uptake, making it a subject of interest in epithelial transport and immune-inflammation research. The minimal tripeptide structure supports focused investigation into targeted anti-inflammatory signaling mechanisms.
