Overview

GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide GHK-Cu) is a naturally occurring human tripeptide — glycine-histidine-lysine — complexed with copper(II) ions. Originally isolated from human plasma, GHK-Cu is one of the most studied anti-aging and tissue-remodeling peptides, with confirmed activity in wound healing, collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and gene expression regulation.

Mechanism of Action

  • Stimulates synthesis of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans
  • Activates copper-dependent enzymes (SOD, lysyl oxidase)
  • Promotes fibroblast proliferation and wound contraction
  • Upregulates over 300 genes associated with tissue remodeling
  • Downregulates 100+ inflammation and tissue breakdown genes
  • Increases VEGF expression promoting angiogenesis

Key Research Findings

  • Accelerates full-thickness wound healing in both diabetic and normal models
  • Restores skin elasticity and reduces matrix metalloproteinase activity
  • Demonstrated neuroprotective activity in Alzheimer's models
  • Reverses expression of genes associated with metastatic cancer
  • Reduces pulmonary fibrosis markers in lung tissue studies
  • Hair follicle enlargement and growth stimulation documented

Research Applications

GHK-Cu is used in dermatological research, wound healing, anti-aging, neuroprotection, hair biology, and gene expression regulation studies. A key compound in regenerative medicine research.

Reconstitution

Dissolve in bacteriostatic water or sterile saline. GHK-Cu is highly water soluble. Swirl gently until clear.

Storage

Lyophilized: –20°C, up to 24 months. Reconstituted: 2–8°C for up to 30 days.

Purity & Testing

≥99% by HPLC · Copper chelation verified · Third-party tested
