GHK-Cu Gene Regulation

Meaning

GHK-Cu Gene Regulation refers to the documented biological activity of the copper-peptide GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) to favorably modulate the expression of numerous human genes. This regulation involves both the upregulation of genes associated with tissue repair, antioxidant defense, and anti-inflammatory pathways, and the downregulation of genes linked to fibrosis and destructive processes. This is a foundational mechanism in its use for skin health and regenerative therapies. The peptide acts as a potent molecular signaling agent.
