Copper Peptide

Copper peptides are naturally occurring or synthetic peptides that form complexes with copper ions, studied extensively for their roles in tissue remodelling, gene expression modulation, wound healing research, and dermal biology.

The copper ion plays a critical role in the peptide’s biological activity, influencing collagen synthesis, antioxidant enzyme function, and extracellular matrix remodeling.

The most-studied copper peptide is GHK-Cu, a naturally occurring tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) bound to copper that has been the subject of extensive research literature spanning skin biology, hair follicle research, wound healing models, and gene expression studies. Research has demonstrated GHK-Cu’s ability to modulate the expression of large numbers of genes associated with tissue repair and remodeling.

Copper peptides in our catalog feature GHK-Cu (100mg), supplied as a lyophilized powder.

Each compound is supplied as a lyophilized powder, ≥98% purity, with Certificate of Analysis. For laboratory research use only.
