Description
Copper tripeptide (GHK-Cu) is a naturally occurring tripeptide that is first isolated from human plasma but can also be found in saliva and urine. During wound healing, Copper tripeptide can be removed from existing extracellular proteins by protein hydrolysis and used as a chemical lure for inflammatory and endothelial cells. Copper tripeptide can increase the production of messenger RNA in collagen, elastin, protein polysaccharides and glycosamine polysaccharides in fibroblasts. Copper tripeptide is a natural regulator of many cellular pathways in skin regeneration
