Summary
Research exploring GHK tripeptide’s gene regulatory activity. Contributes to understanding of GHK’s broad genomic effects across tissue repair, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging gene networks.
Relevance to GHK
GHK’s ability to modulate expression of ~4,000 human genes (~6% of genome) is remarkable for a 3-amino-acid peptide. This genomic breadth distinguishes GHK from peptides with single-target mechanisms and suggests wide-ranging therapeutic potential.
