γ-crystallin Activators

γ-crystallin Activators are a class of chemicals that can enhance the functional activity of γ-crystallin through various specific biochemical or cellular pathways. They consist of a diverse array of compounds such as Epigallocatechin gallate, Curcumin, Resveratrol, Quercetin, Retinoic acid, N-acetylcysteine, Sulforaphane, Berberine, Metformin, Salicylic acid, Capsaicin, and Lycopene. These compounds can act on several different pathways, including PI3K/AKT, Nrf2, SIRT1, AMPK, RAR and RXR nuclear receptors, NRF2, NF-κB, TRPV1, and PPAR-γ.

For example, Epigallocatechin gallate and Resveratrol activate the PI3K/AKT and SIRT1 pathways respectively, leading to the enhancement of γ-crystallin functionality. Similarly, Curcumin and N-acetylcysteine activate the Nrf2 pathway, altering the oxidative stress in the cellular environment and enhancing γ-crystallin functionality. Quercetin, Berberine, and Metformin activate the AMPK pathway, leading to improved cellular energy availability and thus enhanced γ-crystallin function. Retinoic acid impacts γ-crystallin functionality by activating the RAR and RXR nuclear receptors and altering its post-translational modifications. Sulforaphane, like Curcumin and N-acetylcysteine, activates the Nrf2 pathway and enhances γ-crystallin function by reducing oxidative stress.
