When the peptide was incubated in the isolated cells as a bound complex with copper and iron molecules, maximal potential was reported
It keeps the levels of Active (Reduced) Glutathione maintained in the body and reduces melanin production by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase
Therefore, this compound is a uncompetitive inhibitor for the tyrosinase enzyme
