Description
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide complex composed of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK) coordinated with a copper ion.
In laboratory research, GHK-Cu is studied in relation to copper-dependent cellular processes, extracellular matrix signalling, gene expression and cellular responses associated with tissue remodelling.
Research Applications
- Copper-peptide interaction studies
- Cellular signalling research
- Extracellular matrix and collagen pathway research
- Gene-expression studies
- Tissue-remodelling and cellular-response research
Handling & Storage
Store material at –20 °C or below, protected from moisture and light. Experimental solutions should be prepared according to validated laboratory protocols and repeated freeze–thaw cycles minimised.
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
