What It Is
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring human plasma tripeptide complexed with copper. It functions as a powerful biological feedback messenger involved in dermal remodeling, gene expression regulation, and cellular repair, with physiological levels naturally declining as organisms age.
What It Is Commonly Used For
-
Collagen Synthesis & Extracellular Matrix Remodeling: Studied for stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans while regulating matrix metalloproteinases to repair damaged skin and tissue architecture.
-
Wound Healing & Angiogenesis: Evaluated for accelerating dermal wound closure, enhancing microvascular regeneration, and supporting skin barrier integrity.
-
Anti-Inflammatory & Gene Regulation: Researched for its capacity to downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, neutralize free radicals, and modulate over 4,000 human genes back toward a healthier, younger state.
General Purpose
To provide a bio-identical copper-complexed tripeptide reference compound for investigating dermal remodeling, collagen cross-linking mechanisms, gene expression modulation, and tissue regeneration in laboratory research.
