The acetyl moiety prevents the thiol group from oxidizing before absorption, shields the molecule from -GT-mediated hydrolysis in the intestinal lumen, and increases lipophilicity facilitating passive diffusion across intestinal epithelium and cell membranes
The day before the experiment, HEK293T cells were seeded in 96-well plates (8,000 cells/well)
It has since been studied extensively as a model copper-carrier peptide, and is investigated for its role in skin and extracellular-matrix research, including work on collagen-related gene expression and fibroblast behaviour in cultured models
