Day 12: KPV
KPV
Anti-inflammatory tripeptide (from alpha-MSH). Researched for gut health, skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis), and reducing systemic inflammation. ๐ป๐๐
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a short tripeptide derived from the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (ฮฑ-MSH). It is studied in preclinical (mostly animal and cell-based) research for its potent anti-inflammatory, immune-modulating, wound-healing, and gut-protective properties.โ
Unlike the full ฮฑ-MSH hormone, KPV retains strong anti-inflammatory effects without causing skin darkening or major hormonal disruptions. It primarily works by inhibiting key inflammatory pathways like NF-ฮบB and MAPK, which reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-ฮฑ, IL-1ฮฒ, and IL-6. It is often transported into cells via the PepT1 transporter, especially in intestinal and immune cells.
