About GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide first identified in human plasma. It is one of the most extensively researched peptides in existence, with documented effects on wound healing, tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis, and anti-aging pathways. Research by Dr Loren Pickart โ€” who first isolated GHK in 1973 โ€” demonstrated that GHK-Cu can activate more than 300 human genes involved in these processes.

GHK-Cu functions as a signaling peptide that is released during tissue injury. It attracts immune cells, promotes angiogenesis, stimulates collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and acts as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

As a research peptide, GHK-Cu offers scientists a powerful tool to study tissue repair mechanisms, skin biology, and aging processes. Its stability and specificity make it ideal for laboratory research applications.

Mechanism of Action

Tissue Repair & Regeneration

GHK-Cu attracts immune cells to injury sites, promotes angiogenesis (VEGF upregulation), and stimulates fibroblast proliferation. It enhances collagen deposition and organizes extracellular matrix formation for proper tissue remodeling.

Collagen Synthesis

Activates SP1 transcription factor pathways, upregulating collagen synthesis genes (COL1A1, COL3A1). Increases glycosaminoglycan (GAG) production and hyaluronic acid synthesis for skin hydration and elasticity.

Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory

Functions as a superoxide dismutase mimetic, reducing oxidative stress. Downregulates TNF-ฮฑ and IL-6 inflammatory cytokines. Chelates free iron and copper ions to prevent Fenton reactions.

GHK-Cu Research FAQ

What is GHK-Cu and what does it do?

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide first identified in human plasma. It functions as a signaling peptide released during tissue injury, attracting immune cells, promoting angiogenesis, stimulating collagen synthesis, and acting as a potent antioxidant. Research shows it can activate over 300 human genes involved in tissue repair, anti-aging, and regenerative processes.

How should GHK-Cu be reconstituted for research?

Add bacteriostatic water to the lyophilized powder. Standard research reconstitution is 1-2 mL bacteriostatic water for the 50mg vial. Component literature guides dosing: 1-3 mg/day for topical applications or subcutaneous injection in research settings. Always use sterile technique.

What is GHK-Cu used for in research?

GHK-Cu is used in research to study wound healing, tissue regeneration, skin biology, hair growth, anti-aging mechanisms, and inflammatory pathways. It's particularly valuable for investigating collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense systems, and extracellular matrix remodeling.

Is GHK-Cu legal in Australia?

GHK-Cu is legal to purchase for legitimate research purposes in Australia. It is not a scheduled substance when intended for laboratory research use only. All sales are strictly for research purposes โ€” not for human or veterinary consumption. Researchers should comply with local regulations and institutional guidelines.
