Description
Melanocyte stimulating hormone (-aMSH), which was initially characterized as a pigment-inducing (melanotropic) peptide, is known to exert a wide range of biological and actions far beyond pigmentation. KPV peptide, consisting of 3 amino acids(Lysine-proline Valine, MSH 11-13) is a carboxy-fragment of a larger peptide, or a-MSH. KPV has many applications on both the autoimmune and anti-inflammatory side.It retains most if not all of the anti-inflammatory properties of a-MSH. The tripeptide exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activity and is a potential candidate for treating inflammatory bowel disease as well as other intestinal conditions, including IBS, Sibo and candidiasis.
Antibacterial action
In addition to its anti-inflammatory effect, KPV also has antimicrobial activity against pathogens. Its antimicrobial activity has been shown on two major pathogens called S. aureus and C. albicans . S. aureus is a bacterium often found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin. It usually does not cause any damage, but sometimes S. aureus can cause infections. C. albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast.
Intestines
KPV reduces the inflammatory response by inhibiting the synthesis and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. KPV can stop pro-inflammatory mechanisms in both intestinal epithelial cells and immune cells. KPV can help with IBD by suppressing the immune response .
KPV has significant antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, especially in people with psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes rapid growth of skin cells and is usually treated with hydrocortisone. In people with psoriasis, KPV has been shown to reduce symptoms of the disease, including itching, dryness, redness, flaking and more.
