Pickart, who discovered the peptide, a mixture of GHK-Cu and vitamin C suppressed the growth of a highly malignant cancer in mice called sarcoma-180.9 Anti-pain effects GHK-Cu also appears to possess analgesic, or anti-pain, effects
This peptide is frequently investigated for its involvement in IGF-1 receptor activation, protein-synthesis signalling, cellular proliferation pathways, and metabolic-response research

More blood flow to injured tissue means faster delivery of oxygen, nutrients, and the building blocks needed for repair
The de-glutathionylation by Grx enzymes involves thiol-disulfide exchange reactions with GSH via nucleophilic double displacement (pingpong) mechanisms and occurs via mono- or di-thiol mechanisms
