KPV
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Despite lacking melanocortin receptor binding, KPV retains anti-inflammatory signaling through NF-κB pathway inhibition and PGE2 reduction. Research examines its immunomodulatory properties independent of melanocortin receptors.
