The pentapeptide sequence (KTTKS) is a fragment of the type I procollagen α-chain that binds to fibroblast surface receptors, activating TGF-β-like signalling pathways and stimulating the synthesis of collagen I, collagen III, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid. The palmitoyl conjugation enhances lipophilicity, facilitating membrane interaction and cellular uptake. Matrixyl also modulates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, influencing ECM turnover and tissue remodelling dynamics, making it a useful tool for studying fibroblast biology, wound healing, and dermal matrix homeostasis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResearch Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibroblast ECM synthesis and collagen I\/III production studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTGF-β pathway modulation and matrikine signalling research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWound healing, tissue remodelling, and dermal matrix homeostasis investigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatrix metalloproteinase (MMP) regulation and ECM turnover research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin biology, anti-ageing peptide mechanism, and cosmetic active research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eC₃₉H₇₅N₇O₁₀\u003c!--TgQPHd||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e802.05 g\/mol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 214047-00-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥98%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyophilised powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is intended for legitimate laboratory and analytical research use only.
