Synonyms: Ac-Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg-OMe, Acetyl Hexapeptide-2, Ac-Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg methyl ester, N-Acetyl-L-tyrosyl-L-isoleucyl-glycyl-L-seryl-L-arginine methyl ester
Hexapeptide-2 is a synthetic peptide that has been gaining attention in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its potential to support skin firmness and elasticity. As a hexapeptide, it consists of six amino acids, which are acetylated at the N-terminus and methylated at the C-terminus to enhance stability and bioavailability. This peptide is particularly valued for its role in modulating cellular processes that contribute to a more youthful appearance.
Derived from a sequence that mimics a segment of natural proteins, Hexapeptide-2 is produced through solid-phase peptide synthesis, ensuring high purity and consistency. The acetylation and methylation modifications protect the peptide from enzymatic degradation, making it an effective ingredient in topical formulations.
With a purity of ≥98%, Hexapeptide-2 is suitable for research and formulation development in anti-aging products, where it is often used in combination with other peptides to synergistically improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
The peptide is typically supplied as a lyophilized powder, which can be easily reconstituted in water or buffer solutions. Its molecular weight is approximately 738.8 g/mol, and it is soluble in water at concentrations up to 10 mg/mL.
