MOLECULAR PROFILE

What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) bound to a copper(II) ion, found naturally in plasma at decreasing concentrations with age. Research has investigated its role in stem-cell signaling, collagen and elastin synthesis, copper transport, antioxidant defense, and tissue remodeling. Frequently used as a positive control in dermatological and wound-healing research.
