GHK-Cu (Copper)
$58.00$39.99
This is a specialized research product of GHK-Cu (Copper) from Core Peptides, a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide, strictly intended For Research and Laboratory Purposes Only — Not for Human Consumption.
Description & Application
Description: GHK-Cu is a tripeptide composed of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to a copper ion ($Cu^{2+}$). It is found naturally in human plasma, though its concentration significantly declines with age (from ~200 ng/mL at age 20 to ~80 ng/mL by age 60).
Mechanism: It acts as a powerful regenerative molecule. Research suggests it facilitates copper uptake into cells, stimulates collagen synthesis, and increases the production of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).
Research Focus: It is widely studied for its potential in:
Tissue Repair & Wound Healing: Promoting collagen synthesis and neovascularization (new blood vessel formation).
Skin Health: Reversing thinning skin, improving texture, and moderating hyperpigmentation/lesions.
Anti-Aging & Genomic Research: Investigating its ability to "reset" human genes to a healthier state and restore impaired cells.
Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant: Neutralizing free radicals (hydroxyl and peroxyl) and mitigating inflammation in lung tissues.
Hair Growth: Stimulating an increase in hair follicle size.
Specifications & Storage
Unit Size: 50mg (provided as a lyophilized powder).
Purity: >99% (verified via HPLC and Mass Spectrometry).
Molecular Formula: $C_{14}H_{23}CuN_{6}O_{4}$.
Molecular Weight: 340.38 g/mol.
Form: Lyophilized powder in a sterile vial.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Typically, lyophilized peptides are stable at room temperature for short periods but should be refrigerated ($2^{\circ}\text{C}–8^{\circ}\text{C}$) or frozen ($-20^{\circ}\text{C}$) for long-term stability.
