50 mg· 2 strengths availableGHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) complexed with copper(II). The peptide's high affinity for copper is central to its research profile, since the metal is required for several enzymes involved in extracellular matrix chemistry.
Laboratory research examines its effects on fibroblast behavior, matrix protein expression, and broader gene-expression patterns in cultured cells.

Analytical values reflect per-lot documentation and appear once a batch is released.
Compound
GHK was first identified in human plasma and later shown to form a stable complex with copper(II). Published in vitro work reports changes in collagen and matrix-component expression in fibroblast cultures, and transcriptomic studies have described broad shifts in gene-expression profiles following exposure. Because the copper ion is integral to the complex, researchers generally distinguish peptide-specific effects from copper-delivery effects using appropriate controls. Applications include dermal-cell models, matrix biology, and metal-peptide coordination chemistry. Research use only.
Peptide class
Copper-bound tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys : Cu²⁺)
Mechanism (research context)
Published research characterizes GHK-Cu in fibroblast-culture systems, dermal-remodeling models, and gene-expression studies. Its copper coordination is central to reported activity.
Why it is studied
GHK-Cu is one of the most-cited copper peptides in dermatological and connective-tissue research, valued as a well-defined reference complex.

Scientific background
The GHK tripeptide was first isolated by Loren Pickart in the 1970s as an activity from human serum that supported hepatocyte behavior in culture.
The copper-bound form was subsequently characterized as the biologically relevant coordination complex, and GHK-Cu has since accumulated a large body of published dermatological and gene-expression literature.
