Research overview
A tripeptide coordinated with copper.
GHK-Cu is formed when glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine coordinates a copper ion. Published research evaluates this complex in extracellular-matrix, fibroblast, remodeling, and gene-expression systems.
Cu(II)Copper coordination is central to the identity of the GHK-Cu complex.
ECMExtracellular-matrix production and remodeling are studied in cellular models.
GenesTranscriptomic and gene-expression effects have been explored in research literature.

Compound Profile & Technical Overview
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (Gly-His-Lys). Copper coordination is central to the identity of the complex and has been examined in research involving copper transport, fibroblast activity, extracellular-matrix production and remodeling, and gene-expression responses. Published chemical references report the formula C14H21CuN6O4- and a molecular weight of approximately 400.90 g/mol. Imagine First supplies a 50MG lyophilized research presentation. Identity, analytical purity, and measured content are documented in the current-batch Purity, ID & Quantitation report.
