KPV

KPV is a synthetic tripeptide (lysine-proline-valine). It corresponds to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), a naturally occurring signaling molecule. As a peptide class, alpha-MSH fragments have been studied in preclinical literature in connection with anti-inflammatory signaling. Any activity described is attributed to the peptide as studied in laboratory and animal models, not to any specific compounded preparation.

This peptide class is currently under evolving regulatory review.
