GHK-Cu 50mg
Research profile
Overview
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide, Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper) is a naturally occurring human plasma tripeptide that declines significantly with age. It has been the subject of over 50 years of scientific research, spanning wound healing, skin matrix biology, hair follicle biology, and broad gene expression modulation.
Key Research Areas
-
Collagen and ECM Synthesis
Stimulates collagen I, III, and IV synthesis, as well as fibronectin, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans – the primary structural components of the extracellular matrix. -
Antioxidant Mechanisms
Acts as a superoxide dismutase mimic and upregulates antioxidant response elements (ARE), protecting cells from oxidative damage. -
Gene Expression Modulation
Microarray studies suggest GHK-Cu modulates over 4,000 human genes, resetting many ageing-associated gene expression patterns. -
Metalloproteinase Regulation
Balances MMP activity – inducing collagen-remodelling enzymes while simultaneously promoting new collagen synthesis for net positive matrix turnover. -
Hair Follicle Research
Studied for follicle enlargement and elongation in hair growth models.
