Comprehensive research information for laboratory professionals
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) is a naturally occurring tripeptide with a high affinity for copper ions. First isolated from human plasma, it plays a critical role in wound healing, tissue remodelling, and antioxidant defence. In laboratory research, GHK-Cu is widely studied for its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, promote hair follicle proliferation, and modulate inflammatory cytokines. Its dual action – tissue repair and anti‑inflammatory – makes it a cornerstone compound in dermatological and regenerative research.
