RESEARCH

PepT1-Mediated Tripeptide KPV Uptake Reduces Intestinal Inflammation
Dalmasso G, Charrier-Hisamuddin L, Nguyen HT, et al. · Gastroenterology · 2008
Demonstrates KPV inhibits NF-kB and MAP kinase inflammatory signalling via PepT1-mediated cellular uptake, and reduces incidence of DSS- and TNBS-induced colitis in mice through oral administration.
PMID 18061177
Dissection of the Anti-Inflammatory Effect of the Core and C-Terminal (KPV) Alpha-MSH Peptides
Getting SJ, Allcock GH, Flower R, Perretti M. · Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics · 2003
Shows KPV reduces polymorphonuclear leukocyte accumulation in a crystal-induced peritonitis model via a non-melanocortin-receptor pathway, distinguishing its mechanism from core alpha-MSH peptides.
PMID 12750433
Antimicrobial Effects of Alpha-MSH Peptides
Cutuli M, Cristiani S, Lipton JM, Catania A. · Journal of Leukocyte Biology · 2000
Demonstrates that alpha-MSH and its C-terminal tripeptide KPV exhibit antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and C. albicans across a broad concentration range including physiological picomolar levels.
PMID 10670585
