Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (CAT: R026042) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine. It is widely recognized for its regenerative and protective biological functions, especially in skin and tissue repair. GHK is a high-affinity copper-chelating peptide, forming the GHK-Cu complex, which plays a crucial role in wound healing, anti-inflammation, and antioxidant defense. It stimulates collagen synthesis, promotes hair growth, and enhances skin elasticity, making it popular in cosmetic and dermatological formulations. Additionally, GHK has shown promise in gene expression modulation, contributing to its emerging use in anti-aging and therapeutic peptide research.
