Why Is GHK‑Cu of Interest to the Research Community?

GHK‑Cu is a naturally occurring copper‑peptide complex with a high affinity for copper(II) ions. It is found in plasma, saliva, and other biological fluids, with levels known to decline significantly with age. Research interest in GHK‑Cu has expanded due to its broad biological activity and its role in cellular repair mechanisms.

Key areas of scientific interest include:

• Wound healing and tissue repair — GHK‑Cu has been shown to influence fibroblast activity and extracellular matrix remodelling.
• Collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis — supporting studies on skin biology and connective tissue dynamics.
• Anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant pathways — relevant to research on cellular stress responses.
• Angiogenesis — copper availability is essential for new blood vessel formation.
• Gene expression modulation — GHK‑Cu has been associated with shifts toward a more “youthful” gene expression profile in certain models.

Because of its diverse biological activity, GHK‑Cu is widely used in research involving regenerative medicine, dermatology, aging, and cellular signalling.
