Description

GHK-Cu (50mg & 100mg) is a research-grade copper-binding compound widely referenced in scientific studies investigating cellular regeneration, tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and oxidative stress modulation. This lyophilised tripeptide complex of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine chelated with copper (II) exhibits a high affinity for copper ions, making it a valuable compound for modelling biochemical pathways related to wound healing, dermal health, and tissue recovery.

Product Overview: GHK-Cu is endogenously present in human plasma, saliva, and urine, where it plays a role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and repair signalling. In research settings, it provides an effective model for exploring copper-dependent enzymatic activity, fibroblast stimulation, extracellular matrix regulation, and epidermal regeneration.
