About GHK-CU

Research background as published in the scientific literature. Supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only; nothing here is a claim about use in humans or animals.

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper(II)) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It was first isolated from human serum albumin and is known to form stable complexes with copper(II) ions, which are integral to its biological activity in research settings.

Research has examined GHK-Cu across a range of cellular and tissue-level studies, with particular focus on its role in wound healing models, skin biology, and connective tissue integrity. Studies have reported effects on fibroblast activity, angiogenesis, and the expression of genes involved in tissue repair and regeneration.

The peptide's copper-chelating properties are considered central to its research profile. Investigations into its antioxidant activity and interaction with cellular signalling pathways continue to make it a subject of interest in dermatological and regenerative research.
