What is KPV?
KPV is a tripeptide made of lysine, proline and valine. It matches the last three amino acids (positions 11 to 13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), a hormone with known anti-inflammatory activity. KPV has been studied in cell and animal models of inflammation, including mouse models of colitis (Dalmasso et al., Gastroenterology, 2008).
