This is unusual for peptides, which are typically degraded in the gastrointestinal tract

Although the full mechanism of action is unknown, it can activate nuclear factor erythroid 2related factor 2 (Nrf2), modulate GSH and inflammasome to block correct antigen presentation by dendritic cells thereby signifying the role of GSH in improving psoriasis
Additionally, copper peptide GHK-Cu has been noted for supporting skin hydration , reducing the appearance of pores, and helping fade hyperpigmentation
Figures 2, 4) availability is maintained by de novo synthesis from precursor amino acids, (glutamate, cysteine, and glycine), reduction of GSSG by glutathione reductase (GR), and uptake from exogenous GSH sources across plasma membranes (Figure 4) ( via specific plasma membrane transporters ( FIGURE 3 FIGURE 4 Glutathione cellular distribution Glutathione is found in almost all cellular compartments, including the nucleus (Figures 2, 4)
