KPV is a naturally occurring, short tripeptide fragment derived from the larger alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH). Its small, stable structure has made it a focal point in research for its ability to modulate the immune system and inflammation.
Researchers are primarily studying KPV for its potential in:
- Anti-inflammatory Effects: Investigating its mechanism of action, which involves inhibiting the activation of the central inflammatory pathway (NF-κB) in cells.
- Tissue and Epithelial Repair: Studies exploring its role in promoting the healing of the skin (e.g., topical application) and maintaining the integrity of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract lining.
- Antimicrobial Properties: Researching its activity against various pathogens, often in conjunction with its immune-calming effects.
