What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. It appears frequently in dermal biology, gene-expression, and matrix-remodeling research literature.
Laboratory teams typically evaluate copper-peptide handling, solution stability, and pathway markers rather than any consumer or cosmetic endpoint when purchasing research-grade material.
Laboratory research angles
