GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper complex of the tripeptide GHK. It was originally isolated from human plasma. GHK-Cu has a strong affinity for copper(II) ions and is critical in copper homeostasis. In laboratory models, it is investigated for its role as a feedback signal for tissue remodeling, specifically influencing the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans.
The primary mechanism involves the modulation of metalloproteinases and their inhibitors (TIMP-1 and MMP-2), which act as the regulators of collagen synthesis and breakdown. GHK-Cu acts as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent by suppressing free radical formation (specifically iron release) and modulating the activity of TGF-beta. Research focuses on its ability to reset gene expression patterns in aged or damaged fibroblasts to a healthier state.
