Research compound
The certificate is public.
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. The concentration declines significantly with age, correlating with reduced regenerative capacity in research observations.

01Research context
GHK-Cu is studied in extracellular matrix biology, gene expression modulation, and skin aging research. **Mechanism of Action (Research Context)**: - Genomic Modulation: Research indicates GHK-Cu can modulate expression of over 4,000 genes toward regenerative states, including upregulation of antioxidant systems (SOD1) and downregulation of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) - Collagen Synthesis: Stimulates fibroblasts to produce Collagen I and III, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in cell culture models. Comparative studies suggest efficacy exceeding Vitamin C or Retinoic Acid - Metalloproteinase Regulation: Modulates MMP activity to prevent excessive tissue breakdown while facilitating debris removal in wound healing models - Hair Research: 5-alpha reductase inhibition studied in follicle miniaturization research **Regulatory Status**: Available for cosmetic/research applications. Laboratory research material.
