Tripeptide-29 (topical)

Tripeptide-29 is a small, naturally occurring amino-acid based-peptide, one of the primary building blocks for collagen protein.(1) Collagen is a major component of the extracellular matrix, the network of proteins and fibers comprising connective tissues throughout the body. It is responsible for providing structure and support to cellular complexes.

Researchers suggest Tripeptide-29 may have the potential to stimulate collagen synthesis and promote the formation of collagen fibers. In addition to its possible role in collagen synthesis, Tripeptide-29 may have other biological functions. For example, research studies have hypothesized its potential as an antioxidant, which could help protect cells from oxidative stress and damage. It may also have anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-melanogenic properties. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the biological functions of Tripeptide-29 in various experimental models.

Research and Clinical Studies

Tripeptide-29 and Collagen Integrity

Tripeptide-29 may be a major contributor to the stability of type 1 collagen molecules. Studies suggest that the OH group of Hyp in Tripeptide-29 contributes to the formation of favorable interatomic interactions.(2) The researchers propose that Tripeptide-29 as a monomer may enhance the stability of collagen and collagen microfibrils. Studies also suggest that the presence of Tripeptide-29 as a part of the sequence in collagen may significantly reduce UV-related damage and lower the degradation rate when exposed to intensive radiation.(3)

A trial conducted on dermal fibroblasts reported that hydrolyzed type 1 collagen tripeptides exhibited promising potential in reducing oxidative stress and damage.(4) As previously noted, Tripeptide-29 appears to be the primary tripeptide that forms when hydrolyzing type 1 collagen. The hydrolysate showed potential in reducing the build-up of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), reportedly preventing the production of denatured collagen, and lowering levels of reactive oxygen species. Ultimately the scientists suggested that tripeptide-29 “might improve clinical aging phenotypes via the inhibition of glycation and oxidative stress, leading to a delay in cellular aging.

Tripeptide-29 and Glucose Control

According to researchers, Tripeptide-29 may act as a peptidic inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) due to its potential to inhibit the hydrolysis of the Pro-Hyp bond.(5) It was considered a moderately competitive inhibitor. The scientists reported that “Gly-Pro-Hyp in the collagen hydrolysates is suggested to be mainly responsible for the DPP-IV inhibition in vitro,” inferring that Tripeptide-29 may contribute to the overall inhibitory action of collagen peptides on DPP-IV.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) is a serine peptidase involved in several biological processes.(6) The enzyme is expressed on the surface of various cell types, including immune cells, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. It is also apparently found in circulation and in the liver, kidney, and intestine tissues. DPP-IV cleaves peptide bonds at the N-terminus of dipeptides, tripeptides, and smaller peptides, but not larger peptides or proteins. This specificity means it may act on various substrates, including hormones, neuropeptides, and chemokines. Some of the substrates of DPP-IV include glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and peptide YY (PYY), all of which are suggested to be involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis and energy metabolism.(7) The cleavage of GLP-1 and GIP by DPP-IV results in rapid inactivation and clearance from circulation. Inhibiting DPP-IV may upregulate the levels of GLP-1 and GIP, which may lead to an increase in insulin secretion, reduction in glucagon levels, lower blood glucose, and decreased appetite.(8)

Tripeptide-29 and Platelet Aggregation

Collagen-related peptides that contain a glycine-proline-hydroxyproline repeat motif and are considered to be cross-linked through cysteine residues which may stimulate platelet aggregation and secretion through glycoprotein VI (GPVI) receptors. GPVI is a platelet receptor that scientists believe to be crucial in blood clotting or hemostasis. It is a transmembrane glycoprotein that appears to be primarily expressed on the surface of platelets, which are blood cells involved in blood clotting. GPVI is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily of proteins and is composed of two subunits called alpha and beta. The alpha subunit is considered to contain the collagen-binding site, while the beta subunit is responsible for signaling within the platelet. When the GPVI receptor binds to collagen, it may trigger a series of events that lead to the activation of platelets and the formation of a blood clot.

Studies suggest that the non-cross-linked form of glycine-proline-hydroxyproline, or Tripeptide-29, may possibly induce tyrosine phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase Syk and phospholipase C gamma2 (PLCgamma2) in platelets.(9) This ultimately may stimulate platelet aggregation to stop or prevent bleeding. Overall, the researchers report that Tripeptide-29, “present as a repeat motif is sufficient to activate the platelet collagen receptor GPVI” and may stimulate the formation of thrombi to prevent excessive bleeding.
