Description
GHK-Cu Overview
Copper-Binding Research Peptide
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide, sequence Gly-His-Lys, studied for its high-affinity coordination of copper(II) ions. In laboratory research environments GHK-Cu is examined in the context of metal-peptide coordination chemistry, extracellular matrix protein expression, and peptide-mediated gene regulation. Its copper-binding behavior has made it a frequent reference compound in studies of trace-metal transport and matrix biology. Researchers continue to work with GHK-Cu across controlled laboratory settings involving peptide chemistry and cellular signaling assays.
Product Note: GHK-Cu is naturally blue in color due to its copper content. The blue appearance of the lyophilized powder is completely normal and is an expected characteristic of this research peptide.
Product FormatThis product is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form to support stability and handling consistency in controlled laboratory environments.
