GHK-Cu (100 mg)
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-peptide complex formed from the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to a copper (II) ion. First discovered in human plasma in the early 1970s, this molecule has since gained attention for its regulatory role in numerous biological pathways related to repair, regeneration, and protection. Its ability to tightly and safely bind copper makes it a valuable subject of study in research exploring tissue remodeling, oxidative balance, and extracellular matrix dynamics.
Structural Overview
- Chemical Formula: C₁₄H₂₃CuN₆O₄
- Molecular Weight: 401.91 g/mol
- Configuration: Copper (II) coordinates with nitrogen atoms from glycine and histidine, as well as the oxygen group from lysine. This forms a stable square-pyramidal complex that effectively minimizes free copper’s pro-oxidant activity, enabling GHK-Cu to function as a controlled copper carrier.
Research Significance
In experimental settings, GHK-Cu has been investigated for its influence on cellular communication, gene expression, and tissue repair mechanisms. Studies indicate that this copper-binding peptide plays a role in:
- Cellular Migration & Remodeling: Supporting fibroblast activity and extracellular matrix turnover in wound repair models.
- Oxidative Stress Modulation: Enhancing antioxidant enzyme responses while limiting oxidative damage.
- Angiogenesis & Vascular Dynamics: Promoting new blood vessel formation in tissue healing systems.
- Gene Regulation: Affecting hundreds of human genes associated with immune function, repair pathways, and proteostasis.
- Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) Balance: Helping maintain ECM integrity by influencing enzyme activity.
Together, these characteristics position GHK-Cu as a central research molecule for exploring regeneration and protective responses across biological systems.
