GHK Basic (Tripeptide-1)

GHK Basic is a tripeptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine amino acids. It is a naturally occurring tripeptide in plasma, urine, saliva, and other fluids. GHK is produced by various cells, including fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and macrophages. It is also found in high concentrations in platelets and certain tissues, such as the liver and brain. GHK appears to have a high affinity to copper and may regulate numerous biological processes, including wound healing, tissue repair, and immune response.

GHK also has been suggested to have a role in regulating ion channels, enzymes, receptors, and gene expression. The levels of GHK appear to fluctuate over the course of cell lifespan, and it has been suggested that these changes contribute to cell aging. This may result in impaired tissue repair and regeneration and a decline in immune function. GHK may stimulate collagen production and play a role in wound healing and skin cell function. GHK may also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics.
