Overview:
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine. It has been widely studied for its tissue-repair, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. Research shows that GHK-Cu plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, wound healing, angiogenesis, and cellular renewal, making it a cornerstone molecule in regenerative and cosmetic peptide science.
Mechanism of Action:
GHK-Cu binds copper ions and delivers them to tissues where they activate wound-healing and remodeling processes. This peptide regulates gene expression related to repair and regeneration—upregulating protective and restorative pathways while suppressing inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. It has also been shown to stimulate fibroblast proliferation, collagen and elastin synthesis, and growth factor signaling, promoting rejuvenation of skin, hair, and connective tissues in research models.
Research Highlights:
Demonstrated acceleration of wound healing and tissue regeneration in preclinical studies.
Shown to increase collagen, glycosaminoglycan, and angiogenic activity.
Studied for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cytoprotective effects at the cellular level.
Investigated for potential applications in skin repair, anti-aging, and regenerative medicine research.
