Research overview

GHK is a tripeptide first isolated from human plasma in 1973. It binds copper(II) with high affinity, and the resulting complex, GHK-Cu, is the form most often used in research.

GHK-Cu has been studied in cell-culture and animal models of wound repair, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and skin biology. Gene-expression studies in cultured cells have reported broad effects on transcription, making it a subject of interest in tissue-remodelling research.

The lyophilized powder is blue, as expected for the copper complex.
