GHK-CU

Functional Description
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide composed of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine complexed with copper. It is widely studied for its role in tissue remodeling, extracellular matrix regulation, wound-healing pathways, and cellular repair signaling.
In research settings, GHK-Cu is commonly investigated for its potential influence on collagen synthesis, elastin-related pathways, fibroblast activity, angiogenesis, antioxidant responses, and skin or connective-tissue regeneration.
