Research question

Is GHK-Cu studied as a copper-coordinating complex?

The short answer

Answered from published research literature only. It describes what that literature examines; it is not a statement about use in people. GHK-Cu is investigational research material and is not an approved product.

Yes — the copper(II) coordination is the subject of the work, not an incidental detail. The published characterisation covers the tripeptide together with its bound copper.1864422540123442

Coordination chemistry appears directly in the more recent literature, including conjugate and carrier constructs built around the complex.4012344238879894
