KPV – Peptide voor ontsteking & wondherstel

KPV – Peptide for inflammation & wound healing

What is KPV?

KPV (Ac-KPV-NH2) is a research peptide that can influence inflammatory pathways in cells. It is a fragment of alpha-MSH , a hormone known for its immunomodulatory properties. Researchers use KPV to:

  • Inhibiting inflammation in preclinical models
  • To accelerate wound healing and reduce the risk of infection
  • Improve scars after surgical wounds
  • To study anti-inflammatory mechanisms for potential therapeutic applications

How does KPV work according to research

KPV binds to specific receptors of the melanocortin system , leading to:

  • Reduction of inflammatory signals and cytokine production
  • Faster migration and proliferation of cells involved in wound healing
  • Reduction of risk of infection in damaged tissue
  • Potential improvement in cosmetic outcome of scars

Research models show that KPV is effective in inflammatory bowel disease , wound repair , and preclinical cosmetic applications .

Research results and applications

  • Inhibits inflammatory responses in laboratory models
  • Promotes wound healing and cell proliferation
  • Reduces risk of infection in preclinical studies
  • Supports scar reduction and cosmetic healing
  • Possible synergy with other anti-inflammatory peptides

⚗️ All findings are from laboratory research only. Not intended for human use.

Importance of purity and quality

COA test reports and HPLC analysis are essential to guarantee KPV purity of ≥99%. This ensures reproducible and reliable test results.

How do you store KPV?

  • Store between 2°C and 8°C
  • Protection from light and moisture
  • Correct storage affects stability and reproducibility of research results

Why researchers choose KPV

KPV is widely used in laboratory research because:

  • Powerful anti-inflammatory effect
  • Effective stimulation of wound healing
  • Potential for scar reduction and cosmetic applications
  • Preclinical models show benefits in IBD and other inflammation-related conditions

Conclusion

KPV (Ac-KPV-NH2) offers researchers a promising tool for inflammation, wound repair, and cosmetic healing .
