| Amino Acid Sequence: | Gly-His-Lys |
| Application: | Gly-His-Lys (GHK) has been used for the preparation of post-operative intra-articular injection of GHK-Cu (copper). |
| Application: | Gly-His-Lys acetate salt has been used: • individually or as a complex with copper to test its effect on cytokines production in the human normal fibroblasts cell lines • as a model peptide in N,N-dimethyl-N-methacryloxyethyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium betaine based capillary electrophoresis separation studies • as a component of Coon′s modified Ham′s F-12 medium for culturing Fischer rat thyroid follicular cell line, FRTL-5 |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Gly-His-Lys (GHK) acetate salt displays affinity towards copper(II) ions. This property enables GHK to modulate the copper intake into cells. GHK is also involved in quenching toxic by-products generated by lipid peroxidation. |
| General description: | Gly-His-Lys is a tripeptide present at ∼200ng/ml in association with α-globulin and albumin, in human blood plasma. |
