Description
A Copper-Binding Tripeptide for Cell Biology Research
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK), first identified in human plasma in the 1970s. Amino Architects formulates GHK-Cu to clinical-grade purity as a lyophilized reference compound for laboratory research.
Molecular Profile
- Compound: GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper Complex)
- Dosage: 50mg lyophilized peptide per vial
- Purity: ≥99.7%, TFA-free
- Form: Sterile lyophilized powder for reconstitution
Research Background
Published literature has examined GHK-Cu’s role in gene expression related to tissue remodeling, fibroblast activity, and antioxidant defense, and its levels are known to decline naturally with age. It remains a widely referenced tool compound in dermal and wound-model research.
Storage & Handling
- Store lyophilized powder at or below -4°F prior to reconstitution
- Refrigerate at 36–46°F after reconstitution with bacteriostatic water
- For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.
