Product Description
Tripeptide-1 (Gly-His-Lys), is a Liver Cell growth factor.
Tripeptide-1 (CAS 72957-37-0), also known as GHK, Prezatide, or Kollaren, is a naturally occurring tripeptide consisting of glycine, histidine, and lysine (H-Gly-His-Lys-OH). It is found naturally in human blood and saliva. Tripeptide-1 stimulates skin tissue repair, promotes collagen synthesis in the skin, and improves skin firmness, making it widely used in anti-wrinkle and anti-aging cosmetic applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Tripeptide-1 targets the dermis layer of the skin, where it promotes the synthesis of extracellular matrix components including collagen and glycosaminoglycans. It stimulates skin tissue repair and reshapes the biochemical function of the skin, thereby improving skin firmness. The peptide is involved in cellular processes that promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. Its ability to mimic natural peptide sequences facilitates insights into molecular biology and enzymatic activity.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Tripeptide-1 stimulates collagen production in skin cells. It promotes skin tissue repair and improves skin firmness. The peptide is used in biochemical research to study cellular processes and enzymatic activity. It can directly penetrate the dermis layer to supplement lost collagen, reorganize skin fiber structure, restore skin elasticity, delay cellular aging, and improve fine wrinkles. Specific IC50 values are not reported.
ln Vivo
Specific in vivo data for Tripeptide-1 are limited. As a cosmetic ingredient, it is applied topically to promote skin rejuvenation and anti-aging effects. The peptide stimulates skin tissue repair, improving skin firmness and reducing wrinkles. It is widely used in cosmetic and skincare products for its beneficial effects on skin health. No clinical trials for therapeutic indications are reported.
Enzyme Assay
The biological activity of Tripeptide-1 is typically assessed using in vitro cell culture models. Fibroblasts or keratinocytes are cultured and treated with the peptide at various concentrations (e.g., 0.1-100 μg/mL) for 24-72 hours. Collagen synthesis is measured by ELISA or Western blot for collagen types I and III. Cell proliferation is assessed using MTT or BrdU incorporation assays. The peptide is typically dissolved in sterile water or PBS and filter-sterilized before use.
Cell Assay
For cellular studies, human dermal fibroblasts or keratinocytes are cultured in appropriate media supplemented with 10% FBS at 37°C in 5% CO₂. Cells are treated with Tripeptide-1 at various concentrations for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar assays. Collagen production is measured by ELISA or immunocytochemistry. Gene expression of collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins is analyzed by qPCR. The peptide has a molecular weight of 400.43 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₆H₂₈N₆O₆.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies for Tripeptide-1 are conducted in skin models or clinical studies for cosmetic efficacy. Topical formulations containing the peptide are applied to human skin, and effects on skin firmness, wrinkle depth, and hydration are measured using non-invasive instruments (e.g., cutometer, profilometer). Skin biopsies may be taken for histological analysis of collagen content. However, specific published protocols for research use are limited.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for Tripeptide-1 are not reported. As a small peptide, it is expected to have limited systemic absorption when applied topically. The peptide can directly penetrate the dermis layer, suggesting some skin penetration capability. The compound is typically stored at 2-8°C or as a powder at -20°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Tripeptide-1 is naturally present in human blood and saliva and is generally considered safe for topical use in cosmetic products. No significant toxicity has been reported at the concentrations used in cosmetic formulations. As a cosmetic ingredient, it is widely used in anti-aging and skin care products. Comprehensive toxicology studies for systemic administration have not been reported.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
