Decapeptide-12: Studies in Skin Cell Lightening and Anti-Aging

Decapeptide-12 is research peptide made of ten amino acids with the sequence YRSRKYSSWY, which appears to be a targeted inhibitor of melanogenesis that acts primarily by competitively blocking tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme in melanin biosynthesis. The peptide appears to achieve this by occupying the active site and preventing substrate access to the tyrosinase enzyme found […]
