Common Name(s): Acetyl beta-alanyl tripeptide-50,acetyl beta-alanyl tripeptide-50,beta-alanine modified peptide,carnosine biosynthesis stimulating anti-aging
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Stimulates collagen synthesis through peptide sequence receptor activation while simultaneously providing beta-alanine for carnosine biosynthesis โ dual anti-aging mechanism from collagen upregulation and anti-glycation protection.
Why It's Used: Combining signal peptide collagen stimulation with beta-alanine carnosine precursor in one molecule provides synergistic anti-aging from two independent mechanisms โ dermal matrix upregulation (collagen synthesis) and dermal matrix protection (age prevention).
How It Works: The peptide sequence activates tgf-ฮฒ/smad โ col1a1 upregulation. beta-alanine simultaneously enters the carnosine pathway: beta-alanine + histidine โ carnosine (by carnosine synthetase) โ carbonyl quenching of methylglyoxal/4-hne preventing age crosslinks on collagen. the dual mechanism addresses both collagen quantity and quality.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Beta-alanine-containing peptides provide superior carnosine pathway stimulation versus free beta-alanine โ the peptide scaffold improves sc penetration delivering beta-alanine deeper into the dermis where carnosine synthetase is concentrated in fibroblasts.
