Research applications
GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1, Gly-His-Lys with copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide first identified in human plasma. It is investigated in fibroblast proliferation, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, wound-repair and dermal regeneration models, antioxidant signaling, and cell-culture media supplementation. The copper-complexed form is supplied as a lyophilized research peptide for controlled in vitro studies.
