GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys, CAS 49557-75-7) present in human plasma, saliva, and urine. The copper coordination complex exhibits high-affinity metal chelation and influences TGF-beta receptor signaling, integrin-mediated cell adhesion, and ROS scavenging via copper-dependent superoxide dismutase-like activity in biochemical assays. In fibroblast cultures it modulates extracellular matrix gene expression, making it a widely studied probe in connective tissue biology. Supplied lyophilized for in vitro research use only.
