Activator Protein 1
Also known as: AP-1
Description
Activator Protein 1 is a type of endogenous transcriptional Protein.
Beneficial Actions of Activator Protein 1
Skin
Appropriately-induced activity of Activator Protein 1 (such as when Activator Protein 1 is activated by topical exposure to Lipoic Acid) may counteract the Aging Process of the Skin (due to it stimulating Matrix Metalloproteinases such as Collagenase in the Skin to “digest” damaged Collagen): [1]
Appropriately-induced activity of Activator Protein 1 (such as when Activator Protein 1 is activated by topical exposure to Lipoic Acid) may help to erase Wrinkles (due to it stimulating Matrix Metalloproteinases such as Collagenase in the Skin to “digest” damaged Collagen). [2]
Activator Protein 1 Enhances the Function of these Substances
Enzymes
Activator Protein 1 stimulates the production of Matrix Metalloproteinases (such as Collagenase): [3]
Activator Protein 1-induced production of Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Skin can be either beneficial or detrimental depending on the circumstances of its activation:
