Amino Acid Sequence

Gly-Gly-His

General description

Gly-Gly-His (GGH) tripeptide with carboxyl-terminal histidine residue is hydrophilic.

Application

Gly-Gly-His has been used:
  • as a peptide test probe in the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) studies
  • in the electrochemical modification of back-side contact transducers (BSC) electrodes in copper (Cu2+) sensing studies
  • for the fabrication carbon nanotube electrode for detection of Cu2+ ions

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gly-Gly-His (GGH) tripeptide displays the affinity of copper (Cu2+) complexation. These complexes display good skin tolerance and may be useful in wound healing. GGH copper complexes are proposed to reduce tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)-based interleukin 6 (IL-6) secretion by in vivo studies with fibroblasts. GGH is used in comparative studies with other imidazole-containing peptides such as carnosine. An area of active application research involves the GGH binding of copper ions.

The Ni(II) complex of the tripeptide NH2-glycine-glycine-histidine-COOH (GGH) mediates efficient protein-protein cross-linking in the presence of oxidants such as oxone and monoperoxyphthalic acid (MMPP). Here we demonstrate that GGH fused to the amino terminus of a protein can still support
