Common Name(s): Matrixyl 3000 component,rigin,palmitoyl gqpr
CAS Number: 272459-84-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides il-6-targeting anti-inflammaging activity as matrixyl 3000's immunomodulating component.
Why It's Used: Inflammaging-targeting peptide โ palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 targets the il-6-driven chronic skin inflammation (inflammaging) that accelerates collagen degradation in aging skin, providing anti-aging from a unique anti-inflammatory mechanism.
How It Works: Gqpr sequence mimics tuftsin (natural immunomodulating tetrapeptide). inhibits il-6 overproduction in aged fibroblasts and keratinocytes reducing chronic low-grade inflammatory mmp activation. stimulates ecm protein synthesis including collagen and fibronectin. used with palmitoyl oligopeptide as matrixyl 3000.
Typically Found In: Premium anti-aging serums,matrixyl 3000 products

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Matrixyl 3000's two-peptide combination (palmitoyl oligopeptide + palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7) targets aging from two complementary directions: palmitoyl oligopeptide stimulates collagen synthesis (anabolic anti-aging), while palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 inhibits inflammaging-driven il-6 collagen destruction (catabolic anti-aging). together they provide a comprehensive two-pronged anti-aging approach.
