Binds TGF-β receptors on fibroblasts, upregulating collagen I, III, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid synthesis. The palmitoyl chain provides lipophilicity for improved skin penetration into the dermis.
A lipopeptide consisting of a palmitoyl fatty acid attached to the pentapeptide KTTKS. A key component of Matrixyl 3000 formulations. Stimulates collagen and extracellular matrix production more potently than palmitoyl tripeptide-1 (Matrixyl) alone, particularly for deep wrinkle reduction.
