GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Isolated in the early 1970s, it has been extensively studied for its role in gene expression modulation, influencing over 4,000 genes linked to tissue remodeling and inflammation control. GHK-Cu stimulates fibroblast proliferation and promotes angiogenesis, while its interaction with copper ions is crucial for enzymatic processes involving extracellular matrix maintenance. This peptide is widely utilized in dermatology and regenerative biology research.

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. First isolated from human plasma in the early 1970s, it has been studied extensively for its role in tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant signaling. GHK-Cu functions as a potent modulator of gene expression, influencing over 4,000 human genes related to tissue remodeling, inflammation control, and wound healing. In preclinical research, GHK-Cu has demonstrated the ability to stimulate fibroblast proliferation, promote angiogenesis, and regulate matrix metalloproteinase activity. Its interaction with copper ions plays a key role in enzymatic processes tied to extracellular matrix maintenance and redox signaling, making it a widely utilized tool in dermatology and regenerative biology research.
