Description
GHK-Cu | Copper Tripeptide Complex – Research Peptide
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) complexed with copper, which binds with high affinity through the histidine imidazole nitrogen. The complex is a well-characterized model system for peptide-metal coordination chemistry.
Research has examined its role as a copper carrier in cell culture, its influence on extracellular matrix gene expression including collagen and metalloproteinase regulation, and its antioxidant behavior in in vitro assays.
Common research applications: peptide-metal coordination chemistry, extracellular matrix gene expression research, and dermal fibroblast culture models.
