How it’s studied.
A naturally occurring tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) that binds Cu(II) with high affinity. In research literature, GHK-Cu is associated with extracellular-matrix remodeling, antioxidant gene-expression patterns, fibroblast signaling for collagen and elastin synthesis, angiogenic activity, and modulation of wound-healing pathways.
GHK is a natural tripeptide that occurs in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Its copper-bound form (GHK-Cu) is one of the most studied small peptides in dermatological and ECM research literature, and remains the dominant copper-tripeptide compound in cosmetic and research-grade chemistry.
Half-life note · Variable; depends on route and copper-chelation state.
