Collagen and Extracellular-Matrix Research

• GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide widely studied in cellular and pre-clinical systems for its role in stimulating collagen synthesis, elastin production, and glycosaminoglycan assembly, making it a key molecule in extracellular-matrix biology research.

Wound-Healing and Tissue-Repair Models

• In animal and cell-culture studies, GHK-Cu has been shown to accelerate wound closure, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling, supporting investigations into regenerative-medicine and dermal-repair mechanisms.

Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity

• Laboratory research demonstrates that GHK-Cu modulates oxidative stress pathways, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory cytokine expression, contributing to studies in redox balance and cellular protection.

Skin-Health and Cellular-Aging Research

• GHK-Cu has been explored for its ability to restore gene expression patterns associated with youthful skin phenotype, providing a model for studying epigenetic rejuvenation and anti-aging signaling at the cellular level.

Hair-Follicle and Dermal-Papilla Studies

• Pre-clinical data indicate that GHK-Cu promotes follicular-cell proliferation and angiogenesis in scalp tissue, supporting its use in research on hair-growth and dermal-regeneration mechanisms.

DNA-Repair and Regenerative-Pathway Research

• GHK-Cu has been associated with DNA-repair enzyme upregulation and cellular-regeneration processes, offering potential insights into studies of aging, oxidative DNA damage, and cellular longevity.

Barrier-Function and Hydration Models

• Experimental systems show GHK-Cu improves keratinocyte cohesion and lipid-barrier integrity, making it valuable for investigations into skin hydration, trans-epidermal water loss, and barrier repair.

Joint, Muscle, and Connective-Tissue Studies

• In non-clinical models, GHK-Cu has been observed to influence fibroblast proliferation and inflammatory modulation in connective tissues, supporting its inclusion in musculoskeletal and tendon-healing research.

Environmental and UV-Stress Research

• Studies show GHK-Cu can mitigate damage from UV radiation, pollutants, and toxic exposures, enabling research into cellular resilience and environmental-stress responses.

STORAGE DETAILS

Lyophilized GHK-CU is stable at room temperature for 90 days; however, it should NOT be stored below freezing for any extended period. After reconstitution, refrigerate at ≤36°F.
