KPV 10mg
$60.00
KPV is a naturally occurring, three-amino-acid tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Studied for its targeted anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it helps regulate immune responses and supports mucosal barrier repair in the gut and skin, without the side effects or broad immunosuppression seen with steroids.
Key Mechanisms and Research Areas
- Inflammation Regulation: KPV enters cells directly to block the NF-κB pathway, which is the "master switch" for turning on inflammatory genes. It suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-1β.
- Gut Health: It interacts with the PepT1 transporter in the intestinal lining, making it highly effective for researching inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis, and general mucosal healing.
- Skin Repair: In topical forms, it is studied for its ability to reduce redness, irritation, and damage from conditions like dermatitis, rosacea, and acne.
