GHK-Cu: A Tripeptide-Copper Complex in Tissue Remodeling

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It has been studied for decades in the context of wound healing biology, tissue remodeling, and skin physiology, making it one of the longer-studied peptides in regenerative research.

Mechanisms of Action

GHK-Cu has been studied in preclinical and in vitro models for its effects on collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, angiogenesis, and the activity of matrix metalloproteinases. Studies have also examined its antioxidant properties and its influence on the expression of genes associated with tissue-remodeling and inflammatory-response pathways.
