Matrix Metalloproteinase Modulation GHK-Cu potently modulates the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix components - while this might seem counterproductive for regeneration, controlled MMP activity is actually essential for proper tissue remodeling, removing damaged matrix to allow replacement with newly synthesized healthy matrix
These effects have been recently associated with several molecular pathways [10,11,20,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66], in particular with the increased expression and internalization of VEGFR2, and the activation of the VEGFR2-Akt-eNOS signaling pathway [60,61], interacting particularly with the NO [49] and prostaglandins systems [50]
