Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 Related Research

1.Primary Biological Mechanisms

Improved delivery efficiency of KGF(Keratinocyte Growth Factor), VEGF(Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) 和 lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is facilitated within these cells, prolonging the hair growth cycle.

Anti-inflammatory properties are also exhibited, making it suitable for sparse eyebrows, and as an adjunct treatment of 雄激素性脱发; photoaging around the eyes being a primary concern.

Promoting follicular blood circulation is another key effect – enhanced blood flow to the hair follicles means increased nutrient and oxygen delivery, creating an ideal nutritional environment for eyelash growth.

2.Upregulation of keratin 基因表达

The active fragment mentioned above retains the core function of the original KAP proteins(Keratin Associated Proteins).

Binding to cationic amino acid transporters, transcription and subsequent synthesis of KAP5-1 and Type I keratins (31 being the most well documented) is upregulated.

Thickening of the hair shaft cortex is the physical manifestation of this process, eyelash resilience being significantly increased.

3.Promoting microcirculation/nutrient supply

Myristoyl pentapeptide-17 stimulates 角质形成细胞 to release VEGF-A 和 basic fibroblast growth factors(bFGF or FGF2).

Rapid membrane penetration leads to dermal microvessel vasodilation, improved blood flow, enhanced intercellular nutrient exchange and increased nutrient supply to the follicle.

Anti-inflammatory effects are all part of a larger, self-sustaining process of skin barrier repair.

Shortening the resting phase of the hair follicle and promoting eyelash health, is the end result of Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17’s actions.
