GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring peptide complex composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to a copper ion. In laboratory research, it has been widely studied for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties in non-human test models. Findings suggest GHK-Cu can stimulate collagen synthesis, regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover, and influence matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, all of which are essential for tissue remodeling.
Additional studies indicate its potential to accelerate wound healing, promote tissue regeneration, and aid in the repair of skin and connective tissues. By modulating gene expression, protein synthesis, and cellular function, GHK-Cu demonstrates broad utility as an investigative tool in research focused on regeneration and inflammation.
