Research Note: In a gene-array analysis of skin cells reviewed by Pickart and Margolina in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2018), GHK produced a change of 50% or greater in expression for 31.2% of the human genes tested, with about 59% of those genes upregulated and 41% suppressed (Pickart & Margolina, 2018)
Specifically, L2-Cmu was engineered as a human/murine chimera (i.e., reverse chimeric antibody), such that the complementary-determining regions (CDRs) were engineered into a new framework in which the entirety of the variable regions are human and the constant regions are mouse
