Description
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide consisting of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine complexed with a copper(II) ion. First isolated from human plasma, it has a high affinity for Cu2+ and is one of the most studied copper peptide complexes in biochemistry. Its compact structure enables interactions with multiple cellular signalling pathways.
Research Context
GHK-Cu has been investigated in published studies examining gene expression modulation, with research suggesting it may influence over 4,000 genes. Laboratory studies have explored its role in extracellular matrix protein synthesis, antioxidant enzyme regulation, and fibroblast behaviour in cell culture models. Supplied exclusively for in vitro laboratory research purposes.
