Description
FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic peptide designed to disrupt the interaction between the FOXO4 protein and the p53 protein. This disruption leads to the elimination of senescent (aged) cells by inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Background:
In the aging process, senescent cells accumulate in various tissues. These cells no longer divide and can contribute to inflammation and tissue damage. Therefore, removing these cells can be beneficial for tissue health and overall well-being.
Mechanism of action:
FOXO4 is a transcription factor that plays a role in cell survival and apoptosis. In senescent cells, FOXO4 binds to p53, a protein involved in cell death. This binding prevents p53 from inducing apoptosis, allowing senescent cells to persist. FOXO4-DRI is designed to block this interaction, allowing p53 to perform its function and eliminating senescent cells.
