GHK-Cu

This is a specialized research product of GHK-Cu, a copper-complexed tripeptide, strictly intended For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use.

Description & Application

• Description: GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. It is a widely studied compound in regenerative biology, known for its high affinity for copper(II) ions and its presence in human plasma.

• Mechanism: In laboratory models, GHK-Cu is studied for its ability to modulate gene expression related to collagen synthesis, elastin production, and wound healing signaling. It is believed to act as a signal peptide that promotes the activation of various cellular repair pathways.

• Research Focus: In vitro studies utilize GHK-Cu to investigate:

  • Skin remodeling and extracellular matrix (ECM) maintenance.

  • Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant response modulation.

  • Stem cell proliferation and cellular differentiation.

  • DNA repair mechanisms and nerve regeneration signaling.

Specifications & Storage

• Unit Size: 50mg (lyophilized powder, single vial).

• Sequence: $\text{Gly-His-Lys-Cu}$

• Form: Crystalline lyophilized peptide (typically exhibits a characteristic blue color due to the copper complex).

• Storage (Dry): Store dry at $\mathbf{2^{\circ}\text{C}–8^{\circ}\text{C}}$.

• Storage (Reconstituted): Once reconstituted, the solution should be refrigerated at $\mathbf{2^{\circ}\text{C}–8^{\circ}\text{C}}$ and used within a limited window to ensure stability.

• Solubility: Highly soluble in sterile water or compatible aqueous buffers.
