GHK-Cu

Buy GHK-Cu — the Copper Tripeptide Powering Regenerative Research

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine copper complex), also known as Copper Tripeptide-1, is a naturally occurring tripeptide first isolated from human plasma in 1973. Its high affinity for copper ions (Cu²⁺) and its profound influence on gene expression have made it a cornerstone compound in tissue remodeling, wound healing, and anti-aging research.

Unlike simple peptides, GHK-Cu functions as a gene expression modulator, influencing over 31% of human genes at just 1 micromolar concentration—upregulating 2,686 genes and downregulating 2,616 genes. This broad-spectrum activity underpins its remarkable regenerative profile. GHK-Cu stimulates collagen I, III, and IV synthesis in fibroblasts, enhances glycosaminoglycan production, and promotes angiogenesis and fibroblast migration. It also regulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), clearing damaged collagen debris while promoting new matrix synthesis. Emerging research highlights its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects via the JAK/STAT pathway, plus mitochondrial preservation through DAF-16/SKN-1 activation.

Key Research Applications:

• Wound healing and tissue regeneration studies

• Collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling

• Metal-chelation and copper transport research

• Gene expression modulation and antioxidant signaling

• Skin and hair follicle biology investigations
