Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17

Basic Description

​​​​​​​​​​Structure and function ​:
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is a synthetic lipopeptide composed of a pentapeptide sequence covalently linked to a myristoyl group (C14 fatty acid) and works via the following mechanisms:
1. ​​Promote collagen synthesis​ ​：Activate fibroblasts, stimulate ​Collagen Type I and ​Elastin​ production, improving skin firmness.
2. ​​Anti-inflammatory and soothing​ ​：Inhibit the release of inflammatory factors (such as IL-6, IL-8), relieve skin sensitivity and photoaging damage.
3. ​​Barrier repair​ ​：Enhance epidermal lipid synthesis and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

​ ​Application Areas​ ​:
• ​​Cosmetics ​: Anti-aging essence, repair cream, sensitive skin care products.
• ​In vitro studies ​：Study on skin inflammation model and collagen metabolism regulation mechanism.
