What is KPV?
KPV is the final portion of α-MSH, a hormone with multiple functions. In the literature, this small fragment retains properties associated with the modulation of inflammation without some of the other actions of the full molecule, which makes it of interest as a study tool.
Research context
Preclinical research on KPV has focused on modulating the inflammatory response, including models related to intestinal inflammation.
These findings belong to the field of research and do not constitute evidence of efficacy in humans. KPV is offered for research use only.
