$40.55
For Research Use Only.
Product Overview:
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide consisting of glycine, histidine, and lysine, with a
strong affinity for copper ions (Cu²⁺). This peptide–copper complex has been studied in
non-clinical models for its involvement in cellular processes linked to tissue homeostasis
and protein signaling.
Key Characteristics:
• Type: Copper-binding tripeptide
• Structure: Gly-His-Lys bound to Cu²⁺
• Occurrence: Naturally found in plasma, saliva, and urine
• First Described: 1973 by Dr. Loren Pickart
Research Applications May Include:
• Exploration of peptide-mediated copper transport into cells
• Studies involving extracellular matrix remodeling in vitro
• Cellular models focusing on gene expression related to skin and hair follicle function
• Investigations of oxidative balance and cellular signaling
Mechanistic Insights (Based on Preclinical Literature):
• In vitro data suggests potential roles in modulating pathways associated with protein
synthesis and cellular renewal
• Copper delivery is considered vital for enzymatic reactions in biological systems
• Studied for its influence on cell signaling and microenvironment regulation
