Research Overview
Decapeptide-12 is a synthetic peptide that inhibits tyrosinase activity, the rate-limiting enzyme in melanin biosynthesis.
Mechanism of Action
Direct tyrosinase inhibition through competitive binding at the enzyme active site, reducing DOPA oxidation and subsequent melanin polymerization.
Research Applications
Tyrosinase inhibition studies, melanin biosynthesis pathway, comparative depigmentation research, enzyme kinetics.
Key Research Findings
Tyrosinase inhibition 17x more potent than kojic acid in enzyme assays. No melanocyte cytotoxicity.
