GHK-Cu Collagen Synthesis

Meaning

GHK-Cu Collagen Synthesis is the biological process where the copper-peptide complex Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine (GHK-Cu) acts as a signaling molecule to significantly upregulate the production and deposition of collagen within the extracellular matrix. This is a crucial mechanism for promoting tissue repair, enhancing skin elasticity, and strengthening connective tissues like tendons and ligaments. GHK-Cu’s influence on collagen is a key target in regenerative and aesthetic medicine.
