Description
Research Overview
GHK-Cu is a research-grade naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine) complexed with copper(II). It has been investigated extensively in research settings for its role in collagen synthesis pathway research, extracellular matrix remodeling, and cosmetic-research applications.
Supplied as lyophilized powder at 99%+ verified purity. Each batch is independently HPLC and mass spec tested with a full Certificate of Analysis available. Intended exclusively for qualified researchers and in-vitro laboratory applications.
Research Applications
▸
Collagen synthesis research — studied in fibroblast activation, type-I collagen production, and dermal matrix models
▸
Skin and tissue remodeling — investigations into elastin production, glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and ECM regeneration
▸
Copper biology studies — research into copper-peptide complexes and trace metal homeostasis
▸
Wound research models — used in studies investigating epithelial repair and tissue regeneration pathways
Reconstitution & Storage
IMPORTANT: Reconstitute with acetic acid 0.6%, NOT bacteriostatic water. Add solvent slowly down the side of the vial. Do not shake — gently swirl until fully dissolved.
Lyophilized: store at -20°C, protected from light. Reconstituted: refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within 4-6 weeks.
Use sterile technique. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Reconstituted solution should appear deep blue-teal in color (characteristic of the copper complex).
Stable at -20°C for 24 months in lyophilized form. Stability data available in batch COA documentation.
