Later, Kannengiesser et al. [66] assayed the anti-inflammatory action of a melanocortin-derived tripeptide, i.e., α-MSH(11-14), also called KPV (i.e., Lys-Pro-Val) or 5-phenyl-2-keto-valeric acid [83], in two models of experimental murine colitis: that induced by DSS and that of CD45RBhi mice transfer. This evidence concerns the gene STAMBP and colitis.
