GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) utilized in research to study extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling and copper-dependent cellular repair. It serves as a specialized tool for investigating the upregulation of metalloproteinases and the stimulation of dermal fibroblasts in regenerative models. For research use only.
GHK-Cu is a synthetic version of the endogenous copper complex found in human plasma. It is specifically researched for its high affinity for copper ions, which play a critical role as a cofactor in numerous enzymatic processes related to wound healing and tissue regeneration. Unlike topical cosmetic variants, this lyophilized research grade is synthesized for high-stability laboratory applications, allowing scientists to explore its impact on the inflammatory response and stem cell proliferation. This reagent is valued for its ability to transition between the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory phases of tissue repair. Supplied as a stable powder, it is intended strictly for laboratory research; it is not for human or veterinary administration.
