GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found endogenously in human plasma, saliva, and urine. First isolated in 1973 by Dr Loren Pickart, GHK-Cu has since become one of the most extensively researched peptides in regenerative biology.

Research Background

GHK-Cu operates through a remarkably diverse set of biological mechanisms. Genomic studies have demonstrated that it influences the expression of over 4,000 human genes. Key areas of active scientific investigation include:

• •  Collagen and extracellular matrix synthesis — stimulation of collagen I, III, and VI production alongside elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.
• •  Wound healing and tissue repair — acceleration of wound closure, angiogenesis, and granulation tissue formation.
• •  Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity — upregulation of superoxide dismutase and other antioxidant enzymes.
• •  Gene expression modulation — broad influence on gene networks governing tissue remodelling and stem cell activation.
• •  Neuroprotection research — preclinical models examining nerve regeneration and protection against oxidative neuronal damage.
• •  Hair follicle biology — stimulation of follicle enlargement and proliferative activity in models of hair growth.
• •  Longevity and senescence research — investigation into GHK-Cu's capacity to reverse gene expression patterns associated with cellular ageing.
