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.

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

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.
