- Primary Function
- Potent anti-inflammatory, tissue protective
- Broad-spectrum antimicrobial, immunomodulatory
- Structure
- Tripeptide (3 amino acids)
- 37 amino acids, alpha-helical, amphipathic
- Mechanism
- Inhibits NF-κB pathway, modulates MC1R
- Disrupts pathogen cell membranes, interacts with immune cells
- Research Focus
- Inflammation, wound healing, oxidative stress, skin conditions
- Infection (bacterial, fungal, viral), innate immunity, immune response
- Key Advantage
- Targeted inflammation control, gentle tissue support
- Direct pathogen elimination, versatile immune system interaction
