GHK-Cu 50mg – 3ml Vial

Product Overview

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper-chelating tripeptide identified in human plasma. In controlled in-vitro and pre-clinical laboratory models, GHK-Cu is utilised to investigate:

• Extracellular matrix signalling pathways

• Collagen synthesis and remodelling mechanisms

• Metalloproteinase regulation models

• Gene expression modulation associated with tissue signalling

• Copper ion transport and peptide-metal interactions

The peptide forms a stable complex with divalent copper (Cu²⁺), allowing researchers to explore copper-dependent biochemical processes within controlled cellular systems.

Supplied in lyophilised form to preserve peptide-metal integrity and ensure analytical stability prior to reconstitution.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

Unreconstituted (Lyophilised) Storage:
Store at −20°C for long-term preservation. Short-term storage at 2–8°C is acceptable if intended for use within 1–3 months.

Reconstituted Storage:
After reconstitution, store at 2–8°C and use within 3–6 weeks. Stability may vary depending on solvent selection and handling conditions.

Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Protect from excessive agitation, heat, and direct light exposure.

Manufacturing & Quality

GHK-Cu is manufactured using precision solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) followed by controlled copper chelation under GMP-aligned laboratory standards.

Each batch undergoes:

• High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) purity verification

• Mass spectrometry identity confirmation

• Copper complex validation

• Analytical quality control prior to release

• Full batch traceability documentation

Products are released only after meeting strict internal quality specifications.
