GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper(II)) is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine that declines significantly with age. It has a strong affinity for copper(II) ions and activates a broad array of genes involved in tissue remodeling, collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and antioxidant defense.

Research Applications:

• Wound healing, angiogenesis, and collagen synthesis studies
• MMP and TIMP regulation in extracellular matrix remodeling
• Skin biology and dermal fibroblast research
• Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant gene expression studies
• Neuroplasticity and nerve regeneration research
