GHK-Cu (glycine-histidine-lysine-copper) is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex that has been shown in research models to modulate matrix metalloproteinase expression, collagen biosynthesis, and antioxidant gene networks

It is synthesized by glutathione synthetase and utilized by glutathione peroxidase and glutaredoxin to detoxify free radicals
