GHK-Cu
Research peptide · Lyophilized vial 50 mg · 99% HPLC purity
Copper tripeptide studied for skin regeneration and extracellular matrix remodeling.
Copper tripeptide complex (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine·Cu). Investigated in models of extracellular matrix remodeling and tissue signaling: it modulates the expression of repair-associated genes, acts as a copper transporter, and shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in skin regeneration studies.
