Specifications
GHK is a tripeptide first identified in human plasma as a factor influencing fibroblast and hepatocyte activity. When complexed with copper(II), the GHK-Cu complex has been studied as a modulator of extracellular matrix remodeling, antioxidant response, and gene expression programs related to tissue repair.
Published transcriptomic work has reported GHK-Cu influence on thousands of human genes involved in the inflammatory cascade, DNA repair, and collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in dermal fibroblast models.
GHK-Cu is used in laboratory research as a reference copper-peptide complex. It is not a cosmetic ingredient, not a drug, and is not supplied for human application.
