Tripeptide-1 yog polypeptide tsim los ntawm peb cov amino acids, cais raws li matrikine signaling peptide. Nws ua raws li lub dermis los txhawb kev sib xyaw ua ke ntawm extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycans thiab collagen; Cov txheej txheem no ntxiv dag zog rau lub dermal txheej, yog li smoothing ntawm daim tawv nqaij thiab txo wrinkles. Copper Tripeptide-1 muaj Tripeptide-1 khi rau tooj liab ions; tseem hu ua "Blue Copper Peptide," nws nthuav tawm lub cev raws li cov hmoov xiav. Blue Copper Peptide yog thawj zaug pom nyob rau hauv 1970 los ntawm ib tug American chemist thiab muaj nyob rau hauv cov ntshav ntshav. Nyob rau hauv xyoo tas los no, nws tau txais kev siv dav hauv kev ua kom zoo nkauj peptides thiab ua haujlwm tseem ceeb hauv cov plaub hau loj hlob peptide complexes.
GHK-Cu ua lub luag haujlwm tseem ceeb hauv cov txheej txheem physiological ntawm kev ua kom cov nqaij mos. Nws txhawb kev kho mob thiab kho qhov txhab, ua kom lub cev muaj zog ntawm collagen, elastin, thiab proteoglycans (GAGs), thiab ua haujlwm sib koom ua ke nrog Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) txhawm rau txhim kho kev ua haujlwm antioxidant.
