GHK-CU

Description

Scientific studies carried out in different research laboratories worldwide have shown GHK-Cu exhibits some potential to influence various biological pathways, including an apparent induction of tissue repair, attraction of immune cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics, activation of collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts, regulation of extracellular matrix components, and possible promotion of blood vessel growth. Recent studies indicate its potential role in stem cell biology and anti-tumor research as well.

Research suggests that GHK-Cu might function as a repair signal by potentially imitating the presence of a GHK triplet in the collagen alpha-2 type I chains. Specifically, the tripeptide sequence Gly-His-Lys may naturally signal the presence of “broken” collagen. The breakdown of collagen typically corresponds with the disintegration of collagen fibers, often occurring due to tissue damage. It is hypothesized that this peptide sequence might act as a repair signal in cellular communication processes, particularly targeting fibroblasts.
