By binding copper(II) ions, it helps regulate gene expression linked to collagen formation, angiogenesis, antioxidant defense, and tissue remodeling. The peptides small size allows it to penetrate tissues efficiently, and its copper-transfer activity underlies its reported effects on skin, hair, and wound-healing processes in laboratory models
The copper(II) ion participates in metalloenzyme cofactor functions, including lysyl oxidase (required for collagen cross-linking) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)
