GHK-Cu 100mg

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex), also written GHK Cu or GHKCu, is a naturally occurring tripeptide that forms a stable complex with copper(II) ions. Also known as: Copper Peptide or Copper Tripeptide-1. Manufactured in the UK and supplied as a liquid peptide solution in a 3ml research cartridge, GHK-Cu is one of the most requested compounds among UK researchers looking to buy GHK-Cu for dermatological and tissue-remodelling research. It was first identified in human plasma and has since been detected in saliva and urine.

Collagen and Extracellular Matrix Research

GHK-Cu is one of the most studied peptides in extracellular matrix biology. Research has examined its stimulatory effects on collagen synthesis in fibroblast cell models, interactions with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs), and elastin and proteoglycan production in dermal tissue models.

Hair Follicle and Dermatological Research

GHK-Cu has attracted significant interest in hair biology and dermatology. Studies have investigated its effects on hair follicle size and proliferative activity, dermal papilla cell interactions, and its anti-inflammatory properties in skin tissue models.

Antioxidant Pathway Research

The copper-binding properties of GHK contribute to its antioxidant research profile. Studies have examined its role in superoxide dismutase activity modulation, copper-mediated free radical scavenging mechanisms, and protective effects against oxidative stress in skin cell models.

Wound Healing Research

GHK-Cu has been extensively studied in wound healing models, including fibroblast migration and proliferation at wound sites, angiogenesis and new vessel formation in healing tissue, and interactions with growth factors including TGF-β and FGF in repair processes.
