GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma. Studied for its role in wound healing, collagen synthesis, antioxidant activity, and gene expression modulation in skin biology research.
Research Overview
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring tripeptide that was first isolated from human plasma albumin. It has a high affinity for copper(II) ions and forms a stable complex that is biologically active. Research has extensively studied its role in stimulating collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in fibroblast cultures, its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and its ability to modulate gene expression — reportedly influencing over 4,000 genes in various studies. GHK-Cu is a widely used research tool in dermatology, wound healing biology, and regenerative medicine research.
