GHK-CU
Copper-binding peptide composed of three amino acids: glycine, histidine, and lysine. It was first identified in human plasma and has since been widely studied for its role in tissue repair, skin regeneration, and cellular signaling. When bound to copper, this peptide becomes highly active in processes related to collagen production, antioxidant defense, and wound healing.
Researchers frequently investigate GHK-Cu for its potential applications in skin health, hair growth, and regenerative science. Due to its ability to influence multiple biological pathways, it has become one of the most studied peptides in the fields of dermatology, cosmetic science, and longevity research.
