GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-chelating tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Preclinical in vitro and animal model studies have investigated its role in extracellular matrix remodeling, fibroblast proliferation signaling, collagen and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis pathways, and superoxide dismutase activity in tissue culture models. Research has also examined its relationship to gene expression networks involved in cellular repair mechanisms and anti-inflammatory cytokine signaling in controlled laboratory settings.
