Lysine-Proline-Valine
KPV
Tripeptide Fragment of Thymosin Beta-4
KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a small tripeptide fragment derived from the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) sequence and found within thymosin beta-4. It has drawn research interest for its interactions with inflammatory and immune signaling pathways.
Research Highlights
- Studied for effects on pro-inflammatory cytokine activity (including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) in laboratory models
- Explored in gut-barrier and intestinal-permeability research contexts
- Investigated for antimicrobial activity against a range of pathogens in vitro
- Research has examined its role in skin-related inflammatory models
- Studied for general immune-modulation and tissue-repair signaling
