GHK-CU
Research Peptide
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring tripeptide that forms a complex with copper ions. It has been extensively studied for its role in extracellular matrix remodeling, collagen synthesis signaling, and oxidative stress pathways.

Mechanism of Action
GHK (Gly-His-Lys) is a tripeptide that forms a coordination complex with copper(II) ions, facilitating its transport and biochemical actions. The complex coordinates through N3O geometry with imidazole nitrogen of histidine strongly binding copper(II). This enables tight, stable chelation via N3O interactions, copper-stabilizing peptide-metal coordination, and potential roles in studied redox chemistry.
