Description
Product Overview
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine–Copper) is a synthetic tripeptide complexed with copper ions, provided in lyophilized powder form for laboratory research and analytical use. The peptide consists of a defined amino acid sequence—glycine, histidine, and lysine—coordinated with a copper ion, which stabilizes the structure and enables studies on peptide–metal interactions, tissue signaling, and regenerative mechanisms. Its chemical configuration makes it suitable for in vitro investigations into cellular repair, collagen synthesis, and enzymatic modulation.
Chemical Characteristics
The tripeptide–copper complex exhibits high purity and structural stability, facilitating controlled research on peptide-mediated pathways including tissue remodeling, oxidative stress responses, and matrix protein production. The molecule’s coordination with copper ions provides a functional model for studying metallopeptide biochemistry and cellular signaling in regenerative contexts. GHK-Cu is supplied as a stable, lyophilized powder to ensure reproducibility in analytical and biochemical experiments.
