It is oligomeric chitosan with Mw of less than 5KDa. CHITOPORIN-3 shows high expression of aquaporin 3 mRNA and protein in HaCaT cell so that it shows high moisturizing effect in vitro test. CHITOPORIN-3 has also relatively anti-inflammation effect by inhibition of NF-kB which plays a key role in skin inflammation.
1) Skin moisturizing effect followed by increase of expression of aquaporin 3 mRNA
and proteins in HaCaT cell.
2) Skin homeosis and anti-aging effect by keeping excellent skin moisturizing effect.
3) Skin anti-inflammation effect by inhibition of expression of NF-kB.
