GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide studied in laboratory research for its role in cellular signaling and tissue-related pathways. It is composed of the tripeptide GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) complexed with copper ions, forming a stable compound that interacts with various biological processes at the cellular level.

Researchers investigate GHK-Cu for its involvement in gene expression, cellular regeneration mechanisms, and extracellular matrix interactions. Scientific studies focus on how this peptide influences protein synthesis, antioxidant activity, and signaling pathways associated with tissue structure and cellular maintenance under controlled experimental conditions.

GHK-Cu is widely used in in-vitro and early-stage research to explore its effects on cell communication, growth factor modulation, and age-related cellular behavior. Its copper-binding properties make it a valuable tool for studying metal-peptide interactions and their impact on biological systems.

This compound is supplied in research-grade form and should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from light. Proper laboratory handling and safety protocols must be followed at all times. GHK-Cu is strictly intended for research and laboratory use only and is not approved for human or animal consumption, medical use, or cosmetic application.
