Recovery
Cytokine suppressionInhibits NF-kB and MAP-kinase signalling at nanomolar concentrations.
Gut inflammationOral KPV reduced disease severity in DSS- and TNBS-induced colitis models.
Airway calmingSuppresses inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cell work.
TNF-a and IL-6 reductionLowers pro-inflammatory cytokine output in cell and rodent studies.
KPV is a tripeptide — lysine, proline, valine — corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike α-MSH it acts independently of the melanocortin receptors; its anti-inflammatory effect is mediated by uptake through the PepT1 transporter expressed on intestinal epithelial and immune cells.
