KVP 10MG
KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a tripeptide fragment of the melanocortin hormone α-MSH and is studied for its potent anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating properties in epithelial tissues. It does not stimulate melanogenesis, making it a favorable candidate for research into localized inflammation control without pigmentary effects.
Research shows that KPV interacts with melanocortin receptors (MC1R) to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, making it of interest in models related to:
-
Inflammatory bowel conditions
-
Dermatological inflammation
-
Wound healing and epithelial regeneration
