Full shipping information

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) studied extensively in tissue biology and cellular remodeling research. Concentration declines with age, making it a key compound in age-related biological studies. Class-level specification ≥98%; selected lots independently tested.

Key research areas:

  • Tissue remodeling and extracellular matrix pathways
  • Collagen and decorin synthesis stimulation
  • Gene expression modulation (over 4,000 genes identified)

For research purposes only. Not for human consumption.

Description

About GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (CAS 49557-75-7) is a tripeptide-copper complex first isolated from human plasma by Dr. Loren Pickart in 1973. Endogenous plasma concentrations decline from approximately 200 ng/mL at age 20 to 80 ng/mL by age 60, a reduction that correlates with diminished tissue remodeling capacity. This naturally occurring peptide has become one of the most studied compounds in regenerative biology and gene expression research.

Mechanism of Action

GHK-Cu functions as a biological signaling molecule that binds copper(II) ions with high affinity, facilitating copper delivery to enzymatic processes essential for tissue maintenance. The peptide activates TGF-beta and VEGF signaling pathways, stimulating fibroblast proliferation, collagen I/III synthesis, and glycosaminoglycan production. Gene expression studies using the Connectivity Map database have identified GHK as a modulator of over 4,000 human genes.
