GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide studied in research models for its role in cellular signaling, gene expression modulation, and extracellular matrix research.
This peptide is for research purposes only. Not for human consumption.
Description
Copper Binding and Signaling
GHK forms a stable complex with copper ions, enabling studies into copper-dependent signaling pathways [1]. Research models explore how this interaction influences cellular communication and transcriptional regulation.
Gene Expression Research
Studies have shown that GHK-Cu can influence the expression of a wide range of genes associated with tissue remodeling and cellular maintenance [2]. These findings are examined in controlled experimental systems.
Extracellular Matrix Context
GHK-Cu is often included in research involving collagen synthesis markers, protease regulation, and matrix-related signaling pathways [1].
