Bronchogen

Lungs & airways Research only Animal studies Synthetic short peptide (Cytogen)

Also called AEDL peptide

A four-amino-acid Khavinson peptide associated with the lining of the bronchi. It is studied for effects on gene expression in bronchial epithelial cells, including DNA binding and promoter methylation.

What studies report

How it works

A Khavinson short peptide: at two to four amino acids it is small enough to pass through cell and nuclear membranes intact. The proposed mechanism is that it binds specific sites on nuclear DNA and changes which genes are switched on in its target tissue, rather than acting on a surface receptor the way most peptides do.
