GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper Complex | Research Use Only

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex first isolated from human plasma albumin by Pickart et al. in 1973. Found endogenously in plasma, saliva, and urine, GHK-Cu has been extensively studied as a bioactive metallopeptide with diverse roles in cellular signaling and tissue biology research.

In laboratory and preclinical research models, GHK-Cu has been investigated for its interactions with fibroblast activity, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis pathways, and extracellular matrix remodeling mechanisms. It has been utilized in wound healing model studies, angiogenesis research, and investigations of hair follicle biology. Additionally, GHK-Cu has been studied for its antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory signaling mechanisms, and nerve regeneration models. It is a widely used research tool in metallopeptide biochemistry and copper-dependent biological process studies.
