MOLECULE PROFILE

KPV

Peptide or peptide-related

Tripeptide investigated for intestinal anti-inflammatory activity. Mechanistic evidence is not equivalent to validated treatment of colitis or nonspecific symptoms.

Sources checked · October 16, 2026

Published for review · Scientific, medical, translation and citation review pending. Reported uses are not authorized indications. Frequency reflects mentions in supplied sources, not sales or global clinical prevalence.

Identity and synonyms

Lys-Pro-Val (KPV), verified in FDA assessment; modified acetylated/amidated products require separate identity.

Synonyms: Lys-Pro-Val

Peptide or peptide-related · Peptide or peptide derivative

Detailed molecular class: Tripeptide

Supplied sequence or chemical reference

See identity note; no supplier sequence accepted as verification.

Mechanism

PepT1-mediated uptake and inflammatory signaling effects in experimental intestinal systems.

Evidence and critical reading

Reported scientific and empirical uses

Gut and barrier · Immune modulation and inflammation

Handbooks describe oral use and combination with BPC-157; catalogs also include it in blends. Those routes and combinations need their own evidence.

Human evidence

No clinical efficacy established by the reviewed sources; avoid claiming treatment of Crohn disease or generic “leaky gut.”

Preclinical evidence

Cell experiments and mouse colitis models support a research hypothesis.

Critical reading and limitations

The PepT1 study includes cell lines and induced mouse colitis. It does not establish clinical response in human inflammatory bowel disease. A published oral quantity does not justify injection or transfer results to KLOW.

Evidence applies to the exact molecule, formulation, route, population and endpoint studied. Supplier identity, purity and clinical equivalence are unverified.

Source-specific regimens

Descriptive source observations, not individual recommendations.

Regulatory product labeling

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Human-study exposure

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Empirical handbook

NOT A RECOMMENDATION.Each amount is attributed to the source identified for that entry: regulatory product labeling, human research, or community and practice sources. These source categories have different evidentiary roles. They are not medical advice, not a protocol, not a recommended or safe dose, and not evidence that it works. Do not use them to start, change or stop any treatment. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.

Regulation and safety

Jurisdiction-specific regulatory context

US: FDA scientific assessment is not approval.

Adverse effects and unknowns

No adequate human safety or interaction characterization; lack of reports is not reassurance.

Contraindications

See supported safety statements and exact product label; a complete contraindication set has not been established for this catalog material.

A complete list must match the exact authorized product. For experimental materials without verified human labeling, a complete contraindication set is not established here. No list does not mean safety.

Interactions

Only explicitly cited interactions may be asserted; unstudied combinations remain unknown, not interaction-free.

Separate documented interaction, pharmacologic plausibility and unknown interaction. Absence of a blend trial does not establish compatibility.

Studies and trials

Selected studies

PMID18061177 · Cells and mouse experiments

Cell lines and induced mouse colitis.

Culture and oral administration in mice.

PepT1-mediated anti-inflammatory signals.

Does not confirm human oral or injectable clinical efficacy.

Trials attributed in the package

No trials are attributed in this record.

Trial registration does not establish efficacy or validate commercial material.
