RH-POLYPEPTIDE-4.

Insufficient Data CAS - / SKIN CONDITIONING

RH-Polypeptide-4 is a synthetic analog of human Stem Cell Factor (SCF), functioning as a cytokine to promote cellular repair and tissue regeneration. It is recognized for its potential in both skin and hair care, specifically for its proposed role in repigmentation and stimulating hair growth.

Science

As a synthetic recombinant analog of human Stem Cell Factor (SCF), RH-Polypeptide-4 operates as a cytokine, regulating the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. It actively contributes to the healing process by activating hematopoietic precursor cells, thereby facilitating cellular and tissue repair. Its detection in human keratinocytes and along melanocyte migration pathways suggests chemotactic and mitogen effects on melanocytes, indicating its potential as a repigmenting agent for both skin and hair. Furthermore, when combined with other cytokines, RH-Polypeptide-4 can accelerate the recovery from granulation sphere decline, enhancing the efficiency of hematopoietic cells and keratinocytes and improving nutrient delivery.

Key findings

  1. 01 In cases of Androgenetic alopecia, hair follicle cells demonstrated 66% less Stem Cell Factor (SCF) secretion compared to non-balding cells. RH-Polypeptide-4 (sh-Polypeptide-4) has been shown to support hair growth by enhancing the movement and differentiation of melanin generation factors and stimulating the creation of hair growth factors.
