Mechanism of Action
Mechanism: Nuclear Penetration and Gene Activation
Pinealon’s proposed mechanism involves:
- Cellular uptake via endocytosis or direct membrane penetration (small peptides can enter cells through transporter proteins)
- Nuclear localisation: EDR interacts with histone-associated chromatin
- Binding to promoter regions of pineal-specific genes
- Transcriptional activation of:
- AANAT (arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase, rate-limiting for melatonin synthesis)
- Nrf2-regulated antioxidant genes (HO-1, SOD, catalase)
- Survival genes in neurons (Bcl-2 family)
Evidence for this mechanism comes from cell culture studies and animal models reporting increased antioxidant enzyme expression.
