This copper-binding tripeptide activates TGF-beta/SMAD pathway signaling, stimulates collagen I and III synthesis, upregulates TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 to protect collagen from degradation, and modulates gene expression across approximately 4,000 human genes
Zinc deficiency promotes the production of IL-1 by increasing the accessibility of the IL-1 promoter, which possibly results in a constitutive IL-1 production even in the absence of danger signals
