GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide composed of three amino acids—glycine, histidine, and lysine—bound to a copper(II) ion. It has a molecular formula of C₁₄H₂₁CuN₆O₄, a molecular weight of 404.9 g/mol.
The peptide was first identified in 1973 by researcher Loren Pickart during studies involving human plasma. The copper ion is coordinated to the peptide through the nitrogen atoms of the glycine and histidine residues, contributing to its characteristic blue color in crystalline form.
