Amino Acid Sequence
Gly-His-Lys
General description
Gly-His-Lys is a tripeptide present at ∼200ng/ml in association with α-globulin and albumin, in human blood plasma.
Application
Gly-His-Lys (GHK) has been used for the preparation of post-operative intra-articular injection of GHK-Cu (copper).
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.
