GHK-Cu
Copper tripeptide-1
A copper-complexed tripeptide used extensively as a reference standard in dermal fibroblast and collagen research.
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. The characteristic deep blue colour of the reconstituted solution reflects the copper coordination.
Copper content is verified alongside peptide purity. Store the lyophilised powder at -20°C and protect from light; reconstituted solutions should be used promptly.
