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
