Overview
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper(II)) is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex found in human plasma. It has a high affinity for Cu²⁺ ions via its histidine imidazole and terminal amine groups. GHK-Cu is used in research to study copper ion chelation chemistry, metalloproteinase (MMP) modulation, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis signaling, and the molecular mechanisms of extracellular matrix remodeling in fibroblast cell models.
