GHK-CU Research Overview
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK), a naturally occurring peptide first identified in human plasma, where its levels decline with age. GHK-CU is supplied for qualified in-vitro laboratory research and analytical use only.
Compound profile
- Compound class: Copper(II)–peptide complex
- Peptide: Gly-His-Lys (GHK) tripeptide bound to copper(II)
- Form: Lyophilized powder in a sealed vial
- Testing: Third-party HPLC purity and identity, batch-matched COA
Research context
GHK has a high affinity for copper and is studied as a copper-delivery and signaling molecule. Research focuses on collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, extracellular-matrix remodeling, wound-healing and skin-cell models, antioxidant activity, and gene-expression studies showing broad effects on genes linked to tissue repair. It is the base of several multi-peptide matrix blends.
Storage and handling
Store unopened lyophilized vials sealed and protected from light — at −20 °C for long-term storage, or 2–8 °C for short-term use. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2–8 °C, minimize freeze–thaw cycles and rely on your laboratory’s own validated stability data.
