Functions

Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 is a peptide agonist of the α-MSH (α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone). The α-MSH regulates melanin synthe sis via the activation of its receptor MC1-R.

Because of its affinity with the receptor MC1-R, can be used as a natural photoprotector and as an inflammation modulator , limits the expression of biochemical inflammation mediators such as IL-1,IL-8 and RANTES via the activation of MC1-R receptor and provides significant protection against UV-induced erythema.
