KPV is a tripeptide (Lys‑Pro‑Val) derived from the N‑terminal region of alpha‑melanocyte‑stimulating hormone (alpha‑MSH) with investigational anti‑inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. In research settings KPV has been used to study mechanisms of inflammation resolution, mucosal healing, cytokine modulation, and macrophage/epithelial cell signaling. Its experimental actions include modulation of NF‑κB signaling and reduction of pro‑inflammatory cytokine release in cell and tissue models.
