GHK-Cu Research Peptide — 5mg Lyophilized
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper(II)) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide first isolated from human plasma. It plays a fundamental role in copper transport and has been shown in published research to modulate the expression of hundreds of human genes in cell culture models, including genes related to collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and antioxidant defense.
Research applications include studies on dermal fibroblast activation, wound-healing mechanisms, skin gene expression analysis, and biomarker research in aging skin models.
