GHK-CU

Skin & Repair

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring tripeptide that forms a complex with copper ions (Cu2+). It has been extensively studied in research models for its role in extracellular matrix remodeling, collagen synthesis signaling, and oxidative stress pathways. The GHK-Cu complex coordinates with copper ions through specific nitrogen groups in the peptide's chemical structure.

Mechanism of Action

GHK (Gly-His-Lys) is a tripeptide that forms a coordination complex with copper(II) ions, facilitating its transport and biochemical actions. The complex coordinates through N3O geometry with imidazole nitrogen of histidine strongly binding copper(II). This enables tight, stable chelation via N3O interactions, copper-stabilizing peptide-metal coordination, and potential roles in studied redox chemistry.
