By preventing its activation, KPV significantly downregulates the downstream transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including: Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha ( TNF-$\alpha$ ) Interleukin-1 Beta ( IL-1$\beta$ ) Interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) PepT1 Transporter Affinity Unlike larger, fragile peptide sequences, KPV leverages the PepT1 (Peptide Transporter 1) mechanism
