GHK-Cu Research Peptide – 5mg
GHK-Cu Research Peptide — 5mg
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. First isolated in the 1970s, GHK-Cu has since become one of the most extensively studied tripeptides in regenerative biology, with a broad range of documented biological activities spanning wound healing, skin remodeling, anti-inflammatory signaling, and gene expression modulation.
Key Research Highlights
- Wound Healing & Tissue Repair: Stimulates collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in fibroblast models, supporting its role in dermal repair and regeneration research.
- Gene Expression Modulation: Shown to upregulate over 30 genes associated with tissue repair and downregulate genes linked to inflammation and cancer progression in genomic studies.
- Antioxidant Activity: Chelates copper ions to reduce oxidative stress, protecting cells from free radical damage in vitro.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) in multiple cell culture models.
- Neurological Research: Investigated for neuroprotective effects and potential applications in cognitive decline and nerve regeneration models.
- Hair Follicle Stimulation: Studied for its ability to enlarge hair follicles and stimulate hair growth in preclinical models.
