Three amino acids linked together. Many bioregulators fall into this category.
Tripeptide
KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is one of the smallest peptides studied for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Tripeptide-copper complex
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Its concentration decreases significantly with age, making it one of the most studied peptides in aging research.
