Verified Structural Chain Mapping
Gly-His-Lys [Cu2+ Complexed Variant]
Clinical Mechanism Insight
Q: What role does GHK-Cu occupy in extracellular matrix studies?
A: GHK-Cu upregulates structural proteins like decorin and biglycan, downregulates scar-forming pathways, and balances metalloproteinase activity.
