Peptide for reinforcing epidermal functions

DESCRIPTION

• Peptidic sequences (5 to 15 aa) from LCE6A polypeptide (80 aa) that belongs to the « Late Cornified Envelope » (LCE) family
• Originality: Little sequence homology with the 5 other membersof the LCE family
• Functionality: LCE6A gene highly expressed within the granular keratinocyte-enriched fraction
• Specificity: LCE6A gene expression only within epidermis compared to 17 other healthy body tissues and organs
• In vitro bonding evidence to transglutaminases 2 and 3

APPLICATIONS

• Reinforcing epidermal barrier function
• Treating signs of skin dryness and ageing
• Preventing/treating cutaneous trophic disorders or suboptimal cicatrization
• Treating xerosis, ichtyosis, psoriasis, keratosis
