About this compound
Identity & research context
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper(II) complex) is a naturally occurring human tripeptide sequence that coordinates Cu²⁺ in a 2:1 (peptide:copper) complex. It has been investigated in preclinical and in-vitro model systems across research areas including extracellular-matrix regulation, gene-expression modulation, and copper-mediated redox chemistry.
Key research points
- Collagen & elastin synthesis (fibroblast culture)
- Skin-matrix & barrier-function research (in-vitro)
- Antioxidant & inflammation-pathway assays
- Skin- & hair-follicle research markers (preclinical)
