GHK-CU

GHK-Cu is a tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) complexed with copper(II) ions. With a molecular weight of approximately 403.9 g/mol, it naturally occurs in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Its concentration in plasma decreases with age. The copper complex is critical for its biological activity in research models, distinguishing it from the uncomplexed GHK tripeptide.

Research applications include wound healing studies, collagen and elastin synthesis assays, anti-inflammatory pathway research, stem cell biology, and extracellular matrix remodeling investigations. GHK-Cu has been studied for its interaction with multiple growth factor pathways including TGF-β, VEGF, and FGF in dermal fibroblast models.

Every batch of GHK-Cu is synthesized using Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) and purified via preparative HPLC to eliminate truncated sequences and synthesis byproducts. Final identity confirmation is performed via Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS), verifying exact molecular weight. Each lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis documenting purity exceeding 99%, giving researchers traceable, batch-specific verification before use in any laboratory protocol.
