Molecular Structure
GHK-Cu — C₁₄H₂₄CuN₆O₄ · MW 403.92 Da · CAS 49557-75-7. A copper-binding tripeptide composed of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine complexed with a Cu²⁺ ion, where the histidine imidazole nitrogen and the terminal amino group serve as primary coordination sites. GHK-Cu has been investigated in laboratory gene-expression and extracellular-matrix models. Research applications include glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis studies, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity assays, and extracellular-matrix pathway investigations.
