In AKGOS assays, Aminogam® stimulated cellular locomotion (chemokinesis) and directional migration (chemotaxis) of keratinocytes. Analysis of microarray data suggested that keratinocytes had a functional neuroendocrine machinery, and this was confirmed by testing the secretion of six neuroactive molecules by ELISA, namely α-MSH, β-endorphins, melatonin, substance P, cortisol, and neurotensin. Interestingly, Aminogam® regulated the production of several neuropeptides, including β-endorphins.
