What Is GHK-Cu?

Research overview

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine plus copper) studied extensively in skin-regeneration and tissue-remodeling research.

  • Copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) that declines with age
  • Studied for skin remodeling, wound repair, and gene modulation
  • One of the most-researched copper peptides in the literature
  • Supplied strictly as a research-grade reference material

Research Applications

Studied in preclinical research models · not for human use

Skin-regeneration research

Studied for collagen, elastin, and extracellular-matrix remodeling in skin models.

Wound-healing models

Examined for re-epithelialization and tissue repair in preclinical work.

Gene-expression studies

Investigated as a modulator of multiple cellular pathways and gene programs.

Antioxidant / anti-inflammatory research

Explored for protective effects in skin and connective tissue.

Proposed Mechanisms

Preclinical · proposed pathways

Copper delivery

Binds and delivers copper ions involved in matrix-remodeling enzymes.

ECM remodeling

Associated with stimulation of collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

Gene modulation

Studied for broad effects on gene expression linked to tissue repair.

Antioxidant activity

Investigated for protective, anti-inflammatory effects in skin models.

Mechanisms described above are drawn from preclinical (cell and animal) research and, where noted, early clinical literature. They are provided for educational context and should not be read as clinical or therapeutic claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

GHK-Cu
Is GHK-Cu for human use?
No. It is supplied strictly as a research-grade reference material for laboratory use, not for human or animal consumption.
What is the "Cu" in GHK-Cu?
The "Cu" denotes the copper ion that the GHK tripeptide naturally binds, which is central to its studied activity.
What purity is the material?
Each batch is independently tested and ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis at greater than or equal to 99% purity by HPLC.
How is it stored?
Store lyophilized at -20°C; after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2-8°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
