Research Overview
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-peptide complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine and copper(II). In experimental research it is used as a tool compound to investigate extracellular matrix modulation, collagen and elastin synthesis, angiogenesis, and gene expression changes in in vitro and in vivo tissue-repair models. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
