Oligopeptide-177

Oligopeptide-177 is a synthetic peptide with 33 amino acids whose sequences repeat a fragment of the erythropoietin (EPO) glycoprotein. EPO's main function is the stimulation of blood red cells (erythrocytes) production, but it has other functions including the promotion of tissue regeneration and cell protection (prevents apoptosis or cell self-destruction).

Thanks to a specific structure (sequence), Oligopeptide-177 does not affect hematopoietic (blood cell production) processes but kept other beneficial functions that are in demand in modern skincare applications. After topical application, it can bind to a specific receptor CD90 on skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts, promoting skin regeneration, renewal, and wound healing. In clinical trials, Oligopeptide-177 exhibited significant beneficial effects against signs of skin aging, acne, and UV-induced irritation. It is one of the active ingredients in the patented complex TFC8® (Trigger Factor Complex) by Augustinus Bader where it plays a major role.
