Growth-modulating serum tripeptide is glycyl-histidyl-lysine

Schlesinger DH, Pickart L, Thaler MM · Experientia

Identified the growth-modulating activity of human serum as the tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine. This is the paper that named GHK and the origin of the whole literature.

Population

Human serum fractions assayed on cultured cells

Intervention

Isolation and sequencing of the growth-modulating serum factor

Comparator

n/a

Limitations

A structural identification, not a therapeutic result.
