KPV (Lysine–Proline–Valine) is a short peptide derived from the naturally occurring anti-inflammatory peptide α-MSH. It has been investigated primarily for its potential role in inflammatory and immune-related pathways.

Research has explored KPV in relation to:

* Inflammatory signalling
* Immune-system pathways
* Gut and intestinal health
* Skin and inflammatory conditions
* Cellular protective mechanisms
