GHK-Cu 60mg

Research Overview

GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, a sequence found in human plasma whose concentration declines with age. Its defining property is high-affinity copper binding, which allows it to act as a physiological copper carrier and to influence enzymes requiring copper as a cofactor, including lysyl oxidase — an enzyme central to collagen and elastin cross-linking. Transcriptomic studies have reported broad modulation of gene expression, with effects described across pathways governing extracellular matrix remodeling, antioxidant response, and tissue regeneration. This dual character, as both a metal-transport peptide and a transcriptional modulator, underlies its extensive use in matrix biology. Laboratory applications include fibroblast culture, collagen synthesis assays, gene-expression profiling, wound-closure models, and copper-dependent enzyme studies.
