Copper Peptides: A Class of Metallopeptides in Dermatological Research

Copper peptides, particularly those derived from tripeptide sequences such as GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine), have emerged as a compelling subject in research due to their hypothesized roles in tissue remodeling, antioxidant defense, and cellular signaling. These peptides are characterized by their potential to chelate copper ions (Cu²⁺), forming stable complexes that may participate in various biochemical pathways....
