GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide first isolated from human plasma in 1973 by Dr. Loren Pickart. This remarkable peptide has been the subject of extensive research into tissue remodelling, collagen synthesis regulation, and cellular protective mechanisms. GHK-Cu functions as a copper transporter, delivering copper ions to cells where they participate in critical enzymatic reactions. Research has explored its effects on matrix metalloproteinase regulation, dermal fibroblast activity, and anti-inflammatory cytokine modulation in cell culture models. The copper complex gives GHK-Cu its distinctive blue colour and contributes to its research significance in dermatological and tissue engineering studies. AllMyPeptides supplies GHK-Cu in 50mg and 100mg lyophilised vials, with every batch independently HPLC-tested to 99%+ purity. Each order includes a batch-matched Certificate of Analysis from an independent third-party laboratory for complete research transparency.
