GHK-Cu – 50 mg Lyophilized Peptide

Purity: ≥99%
Format: Lyophilized powder
Quantity: 50 mg per vial

Product Overview

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper Complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide identified in human plasma in the 1970s. It has also been detected in other biological fluids, including saliva and urine.

In biological systems, GHK binds copper ions to form the GHK-Cu complex, which has been investigated for its potential roles in cell signaling, tissue remodeling, and biological repair processes.

Scientific literature has reported that endogenous levels of GHK decline with age, which has led to interest in studying this peptide in areas related to aging biology and regenerative processes.

Research Applications

GHK-Cu has been examined in laboratory and experimental studies related to:

• cellular signaling and gene expression pathways
• extracellular matrix remodeling
• collagen and elastin regulation mechanisms
• wound-healing and tissue repair processes
• oxidative stress and antioxidant activity
• hair follicle biology

Researchers investigating these areas may consult peer-reviewed publications and experimental studies for detailed scientific findings regarding the compound.

Handling and Storage (Laboratory Guidance)

This product is supplied as a lyophilized peptide powder.

Typical laboratory handling recommendations include:

• Store at 2–8 °C upon receipt.
• Protect from direct light, heat, and moisture.
  
• Avoid vigorous shaking or agitation after reconstitution to preserve peptide stability.
• Reconstitution for laboratory experiments should be performed using appropriate sterile laboratory techniques.

GHK-Cu solutions may display a blue coloration due to the presence of copper ions, which is characteristic of the peptide-copper complex.

Laboratory procedures may vary depending on the intended experimental application.
