GHK-Cu is a copper peptide complex formed by the binding of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK) tripeptide to copper(II) ions. Naturally present in human plasma at declining concentrations through aging, GHK-Cu has been studied in preclinical and dermatological research models for its effects on extracellular matrix remodelling and copper-dependent enzyme activity.

Research interest in GHK-Cu has focused on:

  • Collagen and elastin synthesis in fibroblast cultures
  • Lysyl oxidase enzyme activation studies
  • Wound healing rodent models
  • Hair follicle dermal papilla cell research

Supplied as lyophilised powder with characteristic blue tint indicating copper coordination. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for laboratory use.

Research Handling Note
For best results, allow both the lyophilised peptide and your chosen solvent to reach ambient laboratory temperature before reconstitution. Introduce solvent slowly against the vial wall and allow the cake to dissolve without agitation to maintain structural integrity. Store reconstituted material per the specifications above.
