MYRISTOYL HEXAPEPTIDE-4.

Insufficient Data CAS - / SKIN CONDITIONING

Myristoyl Hexapeptide-4 is a signaling peptide engineered to enhance the skin's structural integrity. It actively promotes the synthesis of vital proteins like collagen and elastin, while simultaneously inhibiting degradation enzymes, contributing to improved skin firmness and hydration.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This peptide functions by upregulating the genetic expression of crucial structural proteins, specifically collagen types IV and VII, fibronectin, elastin, and integrin. It also counteracts collagen degradation by downregulating the synthesis of MMP-1, an enzyme responsible for this process. Mimicking transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), it activates collagen synthesis via the TGF-β receptor type II (TβRII), contributing to enhanced skin architecture and maintaining optimal hydration.
