This is GHK Basic, the pure tripeptide-1. Think of it as the core signaling molecule before it binds with copper. If you’re researching tissue repair, cellular communication, or the effects of aging on gene expression, this is a fundamental compound to have in your lab.

GHK (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine) is an endogenous peptide—your body makes it, but production drops over time. It’s found in proteins like collagen and SPARC. When tissue is injured, GHK gets released. That release signals fibroblasts to start working, kicking off the synthesis of new collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. It’s a key part of the body’s natural repair blueprint.

Our GHK Basic is supplied as 200mg of high-purity lyophilized powder. It’s for researchers who want to study the peptide’s direct mechanisms or explore its binding characteristics.

Key Research Points for GHK (Tripeptide-1):

• Tissue Remodeling & Repair: GHK is a signal peptide. Studies suggest it upregulates genes involved in tissue repair and may support the synthesis of structural proteins critical for skin and connective tissue.
• Gene Expression Modulation: Research indicates GHK may help reset gene expression patterns in aged or damaged cells to a healthier, younger state, particularly in fibroblasts.
• Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory Support: Scientific literature points to GHK activating antioxidant genes and potentially inhibiting pro-inflammatory pathways, such as NF-κB.
• Wound Healing Models: In preclinical models, GHK has been associated with accelerated wound closure, improved granulation tissue formation, and reduced markers of inflammation (like TNF-alpha).
• DNA Repair: Emerging research explores GHK’s potential role in upregulating DNA repair genes, which may be relevant in studies of cellular aging.

Important Research Note: This is the “basic” form of GHK. It is distinct from GHK-Cu (copper-bound). The choice between them depends on your specific experimental design. GHK Basic allows study of the peptide’s intrinsic activity and its copper-binding properties in vitro.
