Description
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It retains the anti-inflammatory properties of the parent hormone without its pigmentary effects, and is studied in models of colitis, dermal inflammation and NF-κB inhibition.
Research notes
- Enters cells via PepT1 transporter in intestinal epithelium models
- Inhibits NF-κB activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine release
- Does not activate melanocortin receptors for pigmentation
