Description

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide that plays a key regulatory role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, and cellular regeneration. It forms a stable complex with divalent copper ions (Cu²⁺), enabling targeted delivery of copper to biological systems where it supports enzymatic activity and extracellular matrix synthesis.

Research indicates that GHK-Cu promotes collagen and glycosaminoglycan production, modulates inflammatory signaling, and enhances fibroblast proliferation and angiogenesis. These properties have made it a prominent peptide for studies on skin repair, hair growth, and anti-aging biochemistry.
