GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) (Gly-His-Lys·Cu²⁺; CAS 49557-75-7) is a naturally occurring copper peptide complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Serum concentrations decline from approximately 200 ng/mL at age 20 to 80 ng/mL by age 60, making it a subject of interest in cellular senescence research. GHK-Cu is extensively studied for its role in extracellular matrix remodelling, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and copper-dependent enzyme activity.
Gene-expression studies report that GHK-Cu modulates a broad set of extracellular-matrix genes and influences both collagen synthesis and metalloproteinase-regulated collagen turnover in dermal fibroblast models. Its antioxidant activity and effects on inflammatory signalling have been described in in vitro and preclinical studies.
