What is Decapeptide-12?
Decapeptide-12 directly inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme through competitive binding. Tyrosinase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in melanin synthesis (L-tyrosine to L-DOPA). Studies report up to 40% greater tyrosinase inhibition compared to arbutin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Decapeptide-12 vs kojic acid for melanin research?
Decapeptide-12 competitively inhibits tyrosinase directly, while kojic acid chelates copper at the enzyme active site. Decapeptide-12 shows more specific melanocyte targeting with fewer off-target effects in research models.
