Overview
Interacts with DNA repair enzymes and immune cell signaling pathways.
Proposed mechanism
Lys-Glu dipeptide that influences DNA polymerase activity, reduces oxidative damage, and restores immune function in aged models.
What the evidence supports
Most data comes from preclinical animal studies. Human clinical trial evidence is limited or absent.
Graded Animal
Evidence drawn from in vivo animal models or in vitro systems. Mechanistically informative; translation to humans is unproven.
