GHK-Cu

Copper Peptide Tripeptide | Collagen & Wound Healing Research

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It forms a stable complex with copper (II) ions and has been the subject of extensive research into its role in tissue remodelling, wound repair, and cellular signalling.

Research into GHK-Cu covers a broad range of biological interactions: stimulation of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis; upregulation of antioxidant enzymes; modulation of metalloproteinase activity; and promotion of blood vessel formation. Studies have also examined its capacity to modulate gene expression — one investigation identified GHK-Cu's influence on over 4,000 human genes, many associated with tissue repair and anti-inflammatory pathways.

GHK-Cu has been studied in dermatological, wound healing, and hair follicle research contexts, as well as in investigations into nervous system signalling. It is supplied at 50mg, making it suitable for extended research protocols or multi-assay laboratory use.

Supplied as lyophilised powder. Purity ≥99% by HPLC. Third-party Certificate of Analysis available — tested by Janoshik Analytical (Prague) and issued in Longev Peptides' name.
