Overview
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide first isolated from human plasma. Its distinctive blue colouration comes from the coordinated copper(II) ion at the heart of the complex.
Our 50 mg vial is intended for cosmetic-science and dermal research applications including collagen expression, matrix remodelling and antioxidant assay work.
Handling & storage
- Protect from light — copper complexes are photosensitive.
- Do not mix with strong reducing agents or high-concentration vitamin C solutions.
- Store lyophilised at -20°C; solution at 2-8°C.
Research areas
Cited in studies of collagen I, decorin and glycosaminoglycan expression in dermal fibroblast culture.
Investigated as a physiological carrier that presents copper in a biologically tolerable coordination state.
Referenced in broad transcriptomic screens reporting modulation of thousands of human genes in vitro.
