Kinetin (Cat.No:I003924) is a plant hormone and cytokinin that promotes cell division and growth. It plays a significant role in plant development, including leaf expansion and delay of senescence. In addition to its plant applications, kinetin is also used in cosmetics and skincare products for its potential anti-aging effects on human skin cells.
