GHK-Cu (100mg)

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex first characterized in human plasma. It is widely studied in laboratory models of collagen synthesis, wound repair, and gene expression modulation.

For laboratory and research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Mechanism of Action

GHK-Cu delivers copper as a cofactor for lysyl oxidase and antioxidant enzymes. Research indicates modulation of genes involved in tissue remodeling, anti-inflammatory signaling, and extracellular matrix production.

Research Applications

Collagen and ECM synthesis assays
Wound-healing and fibroblast proliferation models
Skin remodeling and hair follicle research
Copper-mediated antioxidant pathway studies

Specifications

sequence	Gly-His-Lys (Cu²⁺ complex)
molecular Weight	340.38 Da (peptide); 403.92 Da (Cu complex)
cas	49557-75-7

Reconstitution (Laboratory)

Add bacteriostatic water under sterile conditions. Solution may exhibit a blue color indicating copper coordination — this is expected. Concentration depends on protocol requirements.

Storage & Handling

Lyophilized: 2–8 °C recommended. Reconstituted: refrigerate; protect from light. Copper complexes are sensitive to oxidation — use appropriate laboratory handling.

Quality Assurance

Every lot undergoes independent third-party HPLC purity analysis, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, and endotoxin testing (<0.5 EU/mg). Certificate of Analysis (COA) is stored against the SKU lot number and available through your research account portal.
