Product Description
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. In research settings, it is widely recognized for its high affinity for copper ions and its critical role in the metabolism of the extracellular matrix (ECM). It is a primary subject of investigation for skin and tissue remodeling, collagen synthesis regulation, and anti-inflammatory signaling pathways.
Key Research Highlights
-
Collagen & ECM Synthesis: Investigated for its ability to upregulate the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans in dermal fibroblasts.
-
Wound Healing & Remodeling: Explored for its role in activating metalloproteinases and modulating the breakdown and reorganization of the extracellular matrix during tissue repair.
-
Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory: Studied for its potential to neutralize free radicals and suppress inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-alpha and IL-6).
-
Stem Cell Support: Researched for its effects on the proliferation and maintenance of epidermal and hair follicle stem cells.
