GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) coordination complex of the endogenous tripeptide Gly-His-Lys (CAS 49557-75-7), detectable in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Copper chelation by the His imidazole nitrogen and the N-terminal amine positions this complex as a redox-active probe: it participates in superoxide dismutase-like ROS scavenging in biochemical assays while also modulating TGF-beta receptor signaling and integrin-mediated adhesion. In dermal fibroblast cultures, the net effect on extracellular matrix gene networks has made it a standard reference compound across connective tissue and ECM biology research.
