The human peptide GHK (glycyl-L-hisidyl-L-lysine) has multiple biological actions including increased collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis and support of the function of dermal fibroblasts. GHK is a small copper-binding peptide, GHK-Cu, that occurs naturally in human plasma that can also be released from tissues in the event of an injury. As such, it is [...]
