Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12

Basic Description

​ ​Structure and function​ ​:
Palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 is a synthetic lipopeptide consisting of a hexapeptide sequence ​VGVLPG​ ​(Val-Gly-Val-Leu-Pro-Gly) is covalently linked to a palmitoyl group and works through the following mechanisms:
1. ​​Promote collagen production​ ​：Activate fibroblasts, stimulate ​Collagen Type I and ​Elastin​ Synthesis, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
2. ​​Anti-wrinkle repair​ ​：Inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), reduce collagen degradation, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

​ ​Application Areas​ ​:
• ​​Cosmetics ​: Anti-aging serum, firming cream, eye cream.
• ​In vitro studies ​：Research on skin elasticity regulation model and photoaging repair mechanism.
