Elastin Peptides

Elastin Peptides

Elastin peptides come from hydrolysis of elastic fibers. Characteristic sequences can bind the elastin receptor. They are used for skin and vascular spring-back.

Primary

Improves skin spring-back

Elastin degradation fragments can bind the elastin receptor and affect fibroblast chemotaxis and elastin-fiber-related expression. For people with sagging skin and deepening expression lines, trials mostly watch spring-back and wrinkle appearance; hydrophobic repeat sequences are the identifying mark of this peptide class.

Primary

Maintains elastic rebound in vessels

The arterial media and the reticular dermis rely on elastin to rebound after repeated stretch. Elastin peptides supply fragments enriched in valine, alanine, and proline. For people who watch vessel stiffness and skin loosening together, cross-link amino acids such as desmosine can track the elastic fiber itself.
