GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1)
Price on application
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. It is renowned for its diverse biological actions, including promoting wound healing, attracting immune cells, and stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts.
Research Profile
GHK-Cu was first isolated from human plasma in 1973 and has since become one of the most researched peptides in regenerative science. It functions as a feedback signal that is generated after tissue injury, acting to switch on the healing process while modulating inflammation. In research settings, GHK-Cu has demonstrated a remarkable ability to increase the expression of decorin—a proteoglycan that inhibits TGF-beta and helps prevent scarring. Its antioxidant properties and ability to stimulate blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) make it a versatile compound for anti-aging and dermatological studies.
