Key Research Findings

  • Pickart & Margolina — characterisation of the GHK-Cu complex and gene-array studies.
  • Published fibroblast culture data on collagen and elastin transcription.
  • Plasma concentration decline with donor age documented in serum analysis studies.

Overview

GHK-Cu is a synthetic copper-tripeptide complex (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine bound to Cu²⁺). Supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.

Mechanism of Action

Reported in published in-vitro fibroblast cultures as a Cu²⁺-delivering ligand active on SOD and lysyl-oxidase enzyme assays. Not intended for human or veterinary use.

Research Effects

Copper Delivery

Extensive Research

Reported in cell-culture assays as a Cu²⁺-binding ligand active on superoxide dismutase activity.

Collagen Transcription Assays

Extensive Research

Published fibroblast culture data on transcription of COL1A1, COL3A1 and elastin genes.

Gene-Array Studies

Moderate Research

Large-scale microarray studies report modulation of multiple cellular pathway genes in cultured cells.
