GHK-Cu
A naturally occurring copper(II)-bound tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. GHK-Cu concentration declines with age, making it a subject of aging biology research.
Molecular Specifications
Mechanism of Action
How It Works
Research suggests GHK-Cu may modulate gene expression related to collagen synthesis, antioxidant enzyme production, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Studies have examined its copper-dependent signaling in dermal fibroblast models.
Published Research
Research Summary
Published literature spans dermatology, wound biology, and gene expression studies. GHK-Cu has been investigated in both in vitro cell culture and animal models, with findings in journals including the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
