Literature / Peer-Reviewed

GHK-Cu Published Research

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide first identified in human plasma by Dr. Loren Pickart in 1973. Research has examined its role in copper delivery, gene expression modulation, and extracellular matrix remodeling across more than 150 published studies.

Gene Expression Research

Studies using gene expression profiling (Broad Institute Connectivity Map) have investigated GHK-Cu's effects on gene expression patterns. Published research identified modulation of approximately 4,000 human genes, with researchers examining pathways related to extracellular matrix proteins, growth factors, and antioxidant enzymes. These studies used in vitro cell culture models.

Collagen and Extracellular Matrix Research

Published research has examined GHK-Cu's effects on collagen synthesis in fibroblast cell culture models. Studies investigated its role in stimulating production of collagen types I and III, decorin, and glycosaminoglycans. Research also examined its effects on metalloproteinase activity and extracellular matrix turnover in skin tissue models.
