KPV | Peptide Encyclopedia | Auryx
KPV is a physician-reviewed Auryx Learn encyclopedia entry. A tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the C-terminus of alpha-MSH with potent mucosal anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects. This page is educational. It is not a dosing guide and not a substitute for a licensed clinician.
How it works
KPV inhibits NF-κB signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6) directly in gut epithelial cells. This makes it particularly effective for gut mucosal inflammation. It also promotes keratinocyte migration for wound closure and has anti-microbial properties against pathogens like Candida albicans.
- Reduces gut mucosal inflammation (Crohn's, IBD, IBS support)
- Promotes wound healing and tissue repair
- Anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties
- Systemic anti-inflammatory action
- Well-tolerated with no known receptor downregulation
Primarily used for gut health and systemic inflammation reduction. An excellent complementary peptide alongside BPC-157 for GI issues.
