Collagen-stimulating activity of a pentapeptide conjugate and self-assembly into micelles

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: A lipopeptide conjugate, farnesyl-mercapto(diethylene glycol)-KTTKS (FMdEG-KTTKS), with a KTTKS collagen-stimulating sequence attached to a terpenoid branched lipid chain, forms micelles and stimulates collagen production in cells.
