About GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring tripeptide with high affinity for copper(II) ions. First identified in human plasma, its concentration declines significantly with age. Research has demonstrated its ability to stimulate collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, promote decorin production, and modulate the activity of matrix metalloproteinases in dermal fibroblast cultures.
Studies have explored GHK-Cu's potential applications in skin remodeling, wound contraction, hair follicle stimulation, and antioxidant defense. Genomic research has revealed that GHK-Cu can modulate the expression of numerous genes involved in tissue remodeling, nerve regeneration, and inflammatory response pathways.
GHK-Cu is supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research purposes. Each lot is analyzed for peptide purity, copper content, and molecular identity to ensure consistency across experimental protocols.
