GHK-Cu (50mg)

$49.99

GHK-Cu (Glycine-Histidine-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. In research settings, GHK-Cu is studied for its interactions with collagen synthesis pathways, fibroblast activity, angiogenesis signaling, and extracellular matrix remodeling in tissue biology models.

BioRhex supplies GHK-Cu as a research compound manufactured in a GMP-compliant US facility, tested to ≥99% purity via HPLC and mass spectrometry, and supplied strictly for controlled laboratory research — not for human or animal use.

What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (Glycine-Histidine-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. In research settings, GHK-Cu is studied for its interactions with collagen synthesis pathways, fibroblast activity, angiogenesis signaling, and extracellular matrix remodeling in tissue biology models.

Compound Overview

GHK-Cu is a copper peptide complex studied for its tissue signaling and ECM biology properties. In vitro and preclinical research models examine how GHK-Cu may influence:

• Collagen I, III, and elastin synthesis pathway activation in fibroblast models
• Angiogenesis signaling and endothelial cell pathway activity
• Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) regulation and ECM remodeling dynamics
• Antioxidant enzyme expression and oxidative stress pathway signaling
• Dermal cell proliferation and wound healing pathway modeling

All findings referenced are from controlled research environments and do not represent clinical outcomes or therapeutic claims.

History of GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu was first identified by Loren Pickart in 1973 during research into plasma factors influencing liver tissue responses. The tripeptide’s copper-binding properties and associated biological signaling activity were characterized through subsequent investigations.

Research demonstrated GHK-Cu’s interactions with collagen synthesis pathways, wound healing signaling, and tissue remodeling biology — establishing it as a research tool in dermal and connective tissue research.

It remains one of the more studied naturally occurring copper peptides in tissue repair biology and dermal signaling research within laboratory settings.
