KPV

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is an ultra-short peptide consisting of just three amino acids that represents the active sequence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a naturally occurring peptide in the human body. Despite its minimal size, KPV retains the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of the parent hormone while eliminating other effects like pigmentation changes.

What makes KPV particularly fascinating is its remarkable efficiency—this minimal sequence is all that’s needed to activate specific anti-inflammatory pathways. This elegant simplicity allows it to address inflammation with precision, without the broader systemic effects of many conventional anti-inflammatory compounds.

The peptide works primarily by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB, a key transcription factor involved in inflammatory responses, and by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This targeted mechanism allows it to address inflammation at its source rather than merely masking symptoms.
