Amino Acid Sequence; Gly-His-Lys. Gly-His-Lys is a tripeptide present at ~200ng/ml in association with α-globulin and albumin, in human blood plasma.
Gly-His-Lys (GHK) has been used for the preparation of post-operative intra-articular injection of GHK-Cu (copper).
GHK possesses a high affinity for copper(II) ions, with which it spontaneously forms a complex (GHK-Cu). This growth-modulating plasma tripeptide, when added at nanomolar concentrations to a wide group of cultured systems, produces a disparate set of responses ranging from the stimulation of growth and differentiation to outright toxicity. It may function by facilitating copper uptake into cells. GHK-Cu accelerates wound healing. CAS Number (net): 49557-75-7.
