The Effects of a Novel Series of KTTKS Analogues on Cytotoxicity and Proteolytic Activity

KTTKS is a matrikine that originates from the proteolytic hydrolysis of collagen. This peptide stimulates ECM production and types I and III collagen expression in vitro. A more stable form of KTTKS is pal-KTTKS, known as Matrixyl<sup>&#174;</sup> or palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. A serie...
