Research Information
Mechanism of Action
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide complex:
- Copper peptide signaling: Delivers copper ions to activate matrix metalloproteinases and growth factors
- ECM remodeling: Stimulates collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in research
- Gene expression: Studied for modulation of over 4,000 genes related to tissue remodeling
Published Research
