GHK-Cu overview
GHK-Cu is a copper(II) complex of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine used in laboratory studies of collagen-related gene expression, antioxidant pathways, and dermal matrix models. Research use only.
Background
Identified as a plasma copper-binding peptide; extensively studied in extracellular-matrix and dermal-construct research contexts.
Research focus areas
Investigators commonly examine GHK-Cu across the following experimental themes:
Storage (laboratory handling)
Store lyophilized research material frozen, dry, and protected from light unless the lot COA specifies otherwise. Any reconstitution or experimental protocol must follow your institution’s laboratory SOPs for research chemicals. AminosPure does not provide instructions for human or animal administration and does not sell products for those uses.
