Research peptide
GHK-Cu
Copper(II) tripeptide research compound supplied as a 50mg lyophilised vial.
No reconstitution or separate pen hardware needed for laboratory handling.
Also available as: GHK-Cu Pen Vial — Pre-Reconstituted
Overview
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (Gly-His-Lys), a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder for laboratory use.
As a research compound it is studied in vitro for its copper-binding chemistry and its role in collagen- and extracellular-matrix research. It is supplied strictly as a research reference material; it is not a cosmetic and is not for human or animal consumption.
Research areas
- Copper(II) coordination chemistry of the GHK tripeptide, studied in vitro
