KPV

KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide (L-lysine–L-proline–L-valine) corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, α-MSH(11–13). It is the smallest sequence of the parent hormone that retains the hormone's anti-inflammatory activity, while carrying none of its pigmentary effects. Its short chain gives it unusual stability and the ability to cross cell membranes intact.

Mechanism

Unlike most peptides, KPV acts both at the cell surface and inside the cell. Published work indicates it is transported into the cytoplasm, where it interferes with pro-inflammatory signalling by suppressing NF-κB nuclear translocation and downstream MAP kinase activity. The result is a reduction in the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β at their source, rather than a blockade of a single receptor.

What the studies show

• Marked reduction in inflammatory cytokine expression in epithelial and immune cell models
• Improved intestinal barrier integrity and reduced colonic inflammation in experimental colitis models
• Accelerated wound closure and reduced tissue oedema in dermal repair studies
• Antimicrobial activity against several bacterial and fungal strains in vitro
• Stable enough for oral, topical and parenteral routes — rare among peptides

KPV is examined as a broad, well-tolerated anti-inflammatory signal that works upstream of the inflammatory cascade, which is why it appears across the gut, skin and joint literature.

Frequently asked questions

How much does KPV cost in Egypt?
Prices for the single vial and the 4-vial kit are shown in Egyptian pounds on this page and kept up to date, so there is no need to message for a quote.

What is KPV used for?
KPV is discussed mainly for calming inflammation, with the gut, skin and joints the areas most covered in published work.

How long does delivery take in Egypt?
Orders typically arrive within 3 to 5 days, delivered to every governorate, in insulated packaging with cold packs.

How do I know the vial is genuine?
Every vial arrives factory-sealed in the manufacturer’s original packaging with the lot number intact. On a first order we can send you the batch serial and the quality certificate to verify against the manufacturer.
