Ceruloplasmin carries six copper atoms per molecule and functions as a ferroxidase; its copper is structural and is released only when the protein is degraded. Albumin binds one copper tightly at a site formed by its first three residues, including a histidine at position 3 — a motif that resembles GHK itself. Histidine and other amino acids form ternary complexes with albumin-bound copper and shuttle it. This exchangeable pool is what cells draw on through the transporter CTR1.
Wilson disease, in which copper excretion fails, and Menkes disease, in which absorption fails, define the two ends of copper handling.
With an affinity comparable to the albumin site and a structure that mirrors it, GHK can take copper from albumin and give it back; in vitro the exchange is measurable. At nanomolar plasma concentration it holds a tiny fraction of the exchangeable pool at any moment, but a fast-exchanging small ligand can still move copper into cells more readily than a large protein. Whether this happens to a meaningful degree in vivo is the question the carrier hypothesis asks and has not fully answered.
The page on the two mechanism hypotheses sets out what rides on it.
Because the compound is a copper complex and a reader should know what copper does in blood before weighing claims about it. It describes biochemistry and no use of the pack.
