Peptide Class: Copper-Binding Peptide / Regenerative Peptide


OVERVIEW

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide composed of three amino acids: glycine, histidine, and lysine. It forms a complex with copper ions, which allows it to participate in several biological processes related to cellular repair, skin regeneration, and tissue remodeling.


Originally discovered in human plasma, GHK-Cu is also found in saliva and urine, and its concentration tends to decline with age. In laboratory research, this peptide is studied for its potential role in collagen synthesis, wound healing pathways, and skin health.


Because of these properties, GHK-Cu has become a common subject in studies related to cosmetic science, dermatology, and regenerative biology.


POTENTIAL RESEARCH BENEFITS

GHK-Cu is commonly studied for its potential role in:


Skin Regeneration

Investigated for it's influence on skin cell regeneration and tissue repair pathways.

Collagen Production

Studied for its potential ability to support collagen and elastin synthesis within skin tissues.

Wound Healing Research

Examined for its possible effects on tissue repair and healing processes.

Anti-Inflammatory Activity

Researchers investigate its potential role in modulating inflammatory signaling pathways.

Hair Follicle Research Explored for its potential influence on hair follicle biology and scalp health.



MECHANISM OF ACTION

GHK-Cu works by binding copper ions and interacting with biological pathways involved in tissue repair and cellular communication.


Research suggests it may:

  • Stimulate collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis

  • Promote cell migration involved in tissue repair

  • Support angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

  • Influence gene expression associated with regeneration and repair


These mechanisms make GHK-Cu a focus of research in cosmetic science, regenerative medicine, and skin biology.

  • STORAGE:

    To maintain product stability and quality:

    • Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term storage.

    • Short-term storage may be maintained at 2–8°C (refrigerated).

    • Keep the vial dry, sealed, and protected from light.

    • Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, as this may reduce peptide stability.

    • Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within a short timeframe according to laboratory protocols.


    For Research Use Only

    Not intended for human consumption, medical, or veterinary use.
