GHK-Cu

Properties

Product Details

Description:
GHK-Cu is a synthetic copper peptide complex consisting of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine chelated to a copper (II) ion. This naturally occurring complex is found in human plasma and is known for its high affinity for copper, which is critical to its biological activity.

In a research context, GHK-Cu is extensively studied for its role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. It is used as a tool in *in vitro* models to investigate its effects on the synthesis and breakdown of key ECM components, such as collagen and elastin. Researchers utilize this compound in cell cultures of fibroblasts and other dermal cells to explore its influence on gene expression related to tissue repair and inflammatory pathways.
