GHK-CU Peptide | Copper Peptide Research

GHK-CU is a copper-binding tripeptide widely studied in research exploring skin regeneration, collagen synthesis and wound healing processes. This peptide complex consists of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine chelated with copper (II) and is commonly used in laboratory studies involving collagen structure, extracellular matrix activity, and copper-dependent cellular pathways.

Naturally occurring in small quantities in human biological fluids, GHK-CU provides a useful model for investigating metal ion interactions, enzymatic activity, and peptide signaling mechanisms in controlled research environments.

Key Research Areas:

• Collagen production research
• Skin regeneration models
• Anti-inflammatory pathways
