Description

This product is for research and laboratory use only. Not for human consumption, therapeutic, diagnostic, or veterinary purposes.

GHK Copper Peptides (GHK-Cu) is a tripeptide-copper complex consisting of the amino acids glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to a copper ion. It is one of the most researched copper peptides in biochemical and dermatological studies.

In laboratory settings, GHK copper peptides are commonly utilized to investigate wound healing pathways, extracellular matrix remodeling, anti-inflammatory responses, and collagen synthesis in cell culture and animal models. The copper ion plays a key role in its biological activity, particularly in modulating gene expression and promoting tissue repair mechanisms in research environments.

Our GHK-Cu is supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder, ideal for precise experimental work.

Research Applications: GHK copper peptides is a widely used research tool in studies involving regenerative biology, extracellular matrix remodelling, and copper-dependent enzymatic processes. It is frequently employed in cell culture and animal models to investigate collagen production, antioxidant defence, wound repair, and skin/tissue regeneration mechanisms.

Storage & Handling Lyophilized Powder (Recommended long-term storage): Store at -20°C in a laboratory freezer in its original sealed vial. Properly stored, GHK-Cu powder remains stable for 12–24 months or longer. Short-term storage at 2–8°C (refrigerator) is acceptable for up to 6–12 months. Protect from light and moisture.

Reconstituted Solution: Reconstitute only the amount needed for immediate experiments using sterile water or appropriate laboratory buffer. Store reconstituted GHK-Cu at 2–8°C and use within 30 days (depending on buffer used). For best results, prepare fresh solutions regularly. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
