Peptides Plus Double Action Wrinkle Reverse Crème by Derma E is an affordable, almost all-natural, wrinkle-fighting combination of two proven wrinkle-diminishing peptides: palmitoyl pentapeptide for collagen building and “faux-tox” ingredient acetyl hexapeptide to relax deeper, expression-caused wrinkles.

To assess the mechanism whereby FLNA2561-2565 pentapeptide (VAKGL) disrupts the MOR-Gs coupling, cAMP accumulation and CREB activation in a manner similar to 100 pM NLX or NTX, purified MOR and FLNA proteins were tested for binding to streptavidin-coated plates coated with biotinated VAKGL peptide.

In this study, striatal slice cultures were treated with 100 µM BAPTA-AM for 30 min in serum-free medium prior to incubation with 100 µM morphine with or without 100 pM NLX, 100 pM NTX or 10 µM VAKGL pentapeptide. pS

This protective effect is mediated via a high-affinity interaction of NLX to a pentapeptide region in c-terminal filamin A (FLNA), a scaffolding protein interacting with MOR.
