GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine) that serves as a vital tool in the study of extracellular matrix (ECM) modulation. In laboratory settings, this compound is utilized to observe the biochemical signaling pathways involved in tissue modeling and the synthesis of structural proteins.
While topical variants exist for cosmetic study, our high-purity lyophilized GHK-Cu is designed for high-bioavailability research models, allowing for the observation of systemic molecular responses and cellular signaling without the interference of the epidermal barrier.
Primary Areas of Laboratory Research:
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Synthesis: Research focuses on GHK-Cu’s ability to modulate mRNA production for Type I and Type III collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans within fibroblast cultures.
Tissue Modeling & Angiogenesis: Studies investigate the tripeptide's role in chemoattraction for capillary cells and its impact on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in in vitro models.
Follicular Signaling Analysis: This compound is a subject of interest in studies regarding the proliferation of dermal papilla cells and the modulation of signaling pathways within the follicular environment.
Genomic Modulation & DNA Stability: Recent research utilizes GHK-Cu to observe changes in gene expression related to antioxidant enzyme production and the stabilization of cellular DNA under oxidative stress.
In Relation to Cartridge and Pen Orders
