GHK-Cu | Copper Peptide | Tripeptide-1 | Research Reference Grade
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide. PerformanceLabsUK supplies it strictly as a research reference material for in vitro laboratory investigation. Researchers must not use GHK-Cu for human or veterinary purposes.
In published literature, scientists study GHK-Cu for its copper-chelating properties and its proposed role in extracellular matrix remodelling. Specifically, research interest spans dermal fibroblast studies, wound-healing models, and investigations into gene expression pathways associated with tissue repair and antioxidant enzyme activity.
Research Interest Areas
- Researchers study it in dermal fibroblast research for potential effects on collagen and elastin gene expression.
- Scientists examine it in wound-healing and tissue-remodelling models investigating extracellular matrix turnover.
- Copper-peptide chemistry research also explores this tripeptide, given its high affinity for Cu(II) ions.
- Additionally, investigators study it in antioxidant enzyme research, including superoxide dismutase pathway studies.
- Comparative dermatological peptide research references it alongside other tripeptide complexes.
