However, standard clinical practice in peptide therapy uses milligram-range dosing (12 mg) to achieve meaningful systemic concentrations
The subsequent antigen presentation triggers the activation of Th1 and Th17 cells, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, TNF-, IFN-, IL-17), which in turn amplify oxidative stress and perpetuate an amplifying loop of inflammation and tissue damage (Kubiak et al

A study found that D5R, via the EFD and IYX(X)I/L motifs in its CT and IC3 loop, respectively, can directly recruit TRAF6 and its negative regulator ARRB2, as well as downstream signaling proteins, such as TAK1, IKKs, and PP2A, to form a multiprotein complex, which impairs TRAF6-mediated activation of NF-B (91)
