GHK-Cu

Overview

Researchers in copper-dependent peptide biology can buy GHK-Cu research peptide from Advanced Peptide Science at 99%+ HPLC-verified purity. GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper(II)) is a naturally occurring tripeptide with copper-binding activity, with a molecular weight of 340.4 Da (free peptide) or 403.9 Da as the copper(II) complex.

Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) 30ml is required for reconstitution of this lyophilized compound. Available separately: Bacteriostatic Water 30ml.

Research Background

The GHK tripeptide was originally isolated from human plasma. The copper-bound form (GHK-Cu) is the bioactive species investigated in regenerative and dermal research. The compound features prominently in research blends including the Glow Blend (with BPC-157 and TB-500) and the KLOW Blend (with KPV, BPC-157, and TB-500).

Mechanism of Action (Research Context)

Mechanism research investigates GHK-Cu modulation of copper-dependent metalloproteinase (MMP/TIMP) activity, stimulation of collagen type I/III gene expression in fibroblasts, antioxidant pathway activation, and angiogenesis induction. The copper-binding chemistry is central to the mechanism and distinguishes GHK-Cu from non-metal-binding peptides.

Research Applications

• Copper-dependent metalloproteinase activity research
• Collagen type I/III synthesis pathway stimulation studies
• Skin remodelling MMP/TIMP gene expression modulation research
• Angiogenesis induction pathway investigation
• Multi-compound research via Glow Blend and KLOW Blend
