KRTAP3-3 Activators

Retinoic Acid, all trans, a retinoid, plays a pivotal role in modulating gene expression linked to cell differentiation, thereby influencing the synthesis of structural proteins. Minoxidil, traditionally known for its vasodilatory properties, enhances blood flow to the scalp, ensuring the delivery of essential nutrients that are crucial for the health of hair follicles and may facilitate the expression of proteins such as KRTAP3-3. The polyphenol Epigallocatechin Gallate is another compound that engages with cellular signaling pathways, potentially leading to the increased production of keratin proteins, which are fundamental to hair fiber structure. 1-Hydroxypyridine-2-thione zinc salt and Selenium Sulfide, commonly used for their antifungal and anti-seborrheic qualities, contribute to the maintenance of scalp health, creating an environment that can favor the expression of hair-related proteins.

Peptides like Copper Tripeptide-1 are known to support follicular health, while caffeine stimulates hair follicles, both potentially enhancing the expression of keratin proteins. Forskolin raises cAMP levels, a secondary messenger that can promote protein synthesis within hair follicles. Essential nutrients like Biotin are critical for cellular health and protein synthesis, thus supporting the production of keratin proteins. The role of amino acids is exemplified by L-Lysine, which provides the building blocks for protein synthesis, and is essential for the production of keratinous proteins. Nicotinic Acid, a form of vitamin B3, enhances skin barrier function, which may indirectly support the conditions needed for KRTAP3-3 expression. D-Panthenol, a provitamin of B5, improves hair texture and strength, and such improvement is often associated with the enhanced expression of structural proteins including KRTAP3-3.
