Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17

Synonyms: Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, N-Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 Acetate, C14-Pentapeptide-17

Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is a synthetic lipopeptide consisting of five amino acids linked to myristic acid (C14), designed for advanced cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis and supplied as a white to off-white powder with high purity, typically ≥98% as determined by HPLC. This compound is part of a new generation of bioactive peptides that target skin barrier function and hydration.

In the personal care industry, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is valued for its ability to enhance the expression of aquaporin-3 (AQP3), a membrane protein that facilitates water transport across cell membranes. By upregulating AQP3, it helps improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall barrier integrity. Formulators incorporate this peptide into anti-aging serums, moisturizers, and eye creams, often in combination with other actives like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide. Its lipophilic myristoyl group enhances skin penetration, making it effective at low concentrations (typically 1–5 ppm).
