GHK-CU
Price range: $34.99 through $49.99
Description: GHK-Cu is a copper(II) complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK). In research settings, GHK-Cu is used to investigate copper-dependent tissue remodeling and repair pathways, including extracellular matrix regulation (e.g., collagen/proteoglycan balance and matrix metalloproteinase activity) and wound-repair signaling in cellular and tissue models.
