GHK-CU 50 mg

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) Research Peptide – 50mg Vial

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine). It comes as a freeze-dried powder with a characteristic blue tint in a 50 mg glass vial, supplied for laboratory research into cellular signaling and tissue dynamics.

Why Researchers Are Interested In It:

Because of its ability to complex with copper ions and influence cellular signaling, GHK-Cu is a popular subject in lab research. Most of this work is done in cell cultures and tissue models, where scientists look at:

• Copper chelation & transport: How the peptide binds to copper ions and delivers them as cellular cofactors.
• Extracellular matrix remodeling: How it interacts with enzymatic processes that maintain tissue structure.
• Gene expression dynamics: How it influences transcription factors associated with tissue repair pathways.

FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY: This product is a research chemical. It is not a drug, supplement, or medical product, and it is not intended for human, cosmetic, or animal use, or for diagnosing, treating, or preventing any condition.

In lab studies, GHK-Cu is evaluated for how it complexed with copper ions (Cu²⁺) and regulates cellular mechanisms:

• Copper Complexing: Binds copper with high affinity, delivering copper cofactors to essential enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD).
• Matrix Enzyme Regulation: Studied in cell assays for its interactions with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs).
• Transcriptomic Signaling: Evaluated in genomic research to observe changes in gene expression related to tissue remodeling and structural maintenance.
