An unbiased genome-wide siRNA screen for suppressors of ferroptosis found that loss of cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase (CARS) increases cystathionine and activates the transsulfuration pathway to suppress ferroptosis, which is induced by the well-known system ( SLC7A11 ) inhibitor, erastin (Table 1) (Hayano et al., 2016)
Its neuroprotective effects help restore brain function, gastroprotective properties aid in GI healing, hepatoprotective effects support liver repair and detoxification, and mood-regulating properties contribute to emotional well-being

In laboratory research, the peptide is investigated for its role in signaling pathways associated with nitric oxide regulation, angiogenic signaling cascades, and cellular stress responses
