GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex (Gly-His-Lys-Cu2+) found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. This copper-binding peptide is studied for its effects on tissue repair, remodeling, and regeneration. Researchers investigate its role in wound healing, collagen production, and anti-inflammatory processes in laboratory settings.

Scientific research on GHK-Cu examines its effects on tissue remodeling and regenerative processes. Studies focus on its influence on collagen synthesis, metalloproteinase activity, angiogenesis, and antioxidant enzyme production. Researchers investigate its mechanisms involving copper delivery to cells, gene expression modulation, and growth factor regulation in wound healing and tissue repair models.
