GHK-Cu

Product Info

GHK-Cu is a copper complex formed when the tripeptide Gly–His–Lys binds a copper ion. It is supplied for controlled laboratory studies involving peptide–metal coordination, extracellular-matrix signalling and related cellular pathways.

Research Overview

The GHK peptide contains three amino acids and has a natural affinity for copper. This coordination chemistry makes GHK-Cu useful in model systems examining how peptide–metal complexes interact with cellular surfaces, matrix components and collagen-associated signalling pathways.

Research involving GHK-Cu is non-clinical and focuses on biochemical mechanisms and measurable laboratory responses rather than cosmetic or therapeutic outcomes.
