GHK-CU

GHK-Cu is a synthetic copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) that demonstrates a high affinity for copper(II) ions. This research compound functions as a crucial mediator in extracellular matrix remodeling by upregulating the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. It demonstrates broad regulatory effects on cellular regeneration, angiogenesis, and antioxidant defense pathways. GHK-Cu is classified as a regenerative tissue-modulating peptide for research applications investigating cellular aging, tissue remodeling dynamics, and extracellular matrix homeostasis.
