GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper complex consisting of the tripeptide Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine. It is a high-affinity copper-binding peptide that plays a critical role in copper transport and cellular signaling. In laboratory settings, GHK-Cu is a primary subject for studies involving tissue regeneration, gene modulation, and antioxidant enzyme activation.

The powder’s distinct deep blue color is a natural result of the copper complexing process and serves as a visual indicator of the peptide's integrity.

Research Applications

• Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Study: Investigation of the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and the modulation of collagen type I, III, and V.

• Gene Expression Profiling: Analysis of GHK-Cu’s ability to influence the expression of genes involved in DNA repair and antioxidant defense (e.g., superoxide dismutase).

• Cellular Chemotaxis: Study of the recruitment of macrophages and mast cells to specific research sites.

• Stem Cell Research: Investigating the proliferative effects of copper-peptide complexes on mesenchymal stem cells.
