What is GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide composed of the amino acid sequence glycine-histidine-lysine (GHK) complexed with a copper ion. It was first isolated from human plasma and has been widely studied in laboratory research involving tissue repair signalling and extracellular matrix regulation.
The tripeptide structure allows strong chelation with copper (Cu²⁺), forming the biologically active complex GHK-Cu. This complex has been investigated in research involving collagen synthesis pathways, cellular signalling, and tissue regeneration processes.
