GHK CU 50mg

GHK-CU (also written as GHK-Cu) is a copper(II) complex of the tripeptide Gly–His–Lys used in controlled in-vitro studies of extracellular-matrix signalling, collagen pathways, and cell-surface interactions under non-clinical laboratory conditions.

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide)

This complex forms when the tripeptide GHK chelates Cu(II). Because of its coordination chemistry and peptide motif, researchers employ it to probe matrix-associated readouts, peptide–metal interactions, and receptor-adjacent signalling in model systems.
For laboratory research only. Not for human use.

Handling & storage

1. Storage (dry): Keep vials protected from light and moisture.
2. Reconstitution: Bring vial and diluent to room temperature. Reconstitute with
   Bacteriostatic Water 10 ml. Swirl gently — do not vortex.
3. After reconstitution: Store at 2–8 °C, protect from light, use aliquots to reduce handling, and avoid repeated temperature cycling.
4. Compatibility: Use only within research protocols that follow your lab’s SOPs and local regulations.

About GHK-Cu in research

Researchers use GHK-Cu to examine peptide–metal coordination effects on extracellular-matrix biology, including collagen-related readouts and cell-surface interactions in model systems. These investigations focus on molecular mechanisms and assay responses exclusively in controlled, non-clinical in-vitro environments.

Synthesis & quality

Manufactured via controlled, validated peptide-synthesis and complexation processes to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity, purity, and appearance checks before release.
Certificates of Analysis (CoA) are available on request.
