KPV is a short peptide made up of three amino acids—lysine, proline, and valine—originating from the larger alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has attracted scientific interest for its potential ability to influence inflammatory signaling and support cellular homeostasis in experimental settings. In laboratory studies, KPV is frequently examined in vitro for its stability and precise biological activity, especially in research focused on immune function and tissue interactions.
