GHK-CU

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) found in human plasma, saliva and urine. It is studied extensively in skin-biology, wound-healing and gene-expression research, where it displays remodeling and antioxidant activity.

Research Studies

(for educational purposes only)

GHK-Cu and tissue remodeling

Research on the copper tripeptide reports stimulation of collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in fibroblast cultures, modulation of matrix metalloproteinases, and accelerated wound contraction in animal models. Plasma GHK levels decline substantially with age, motivating its study in skin-aging research.

In plain English

GHK-Cu is one of the better-characterized cosmetic-adjacent research peptides, with decades of dermatology-oriented literature behind it.

Gene-expression profiling of GHK

Broad transcriptome analyses have reported that GHK exposure shifts expression of a large fraction of profiled genes toward patterns associated with tissue repair and antioxidant defense, suggesting the peptide acts as a broad signalling modulator rather than through a single receptor.

In plain English

Instead of one target, GHK appears to nudge many repair-related genes at once — a finding from computational screens that still needs functional confirmation.

GHK-Cu — Frequently asked questions

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) found in human plasma, saliva and urine. It is sold strictly for laboratory research use — not for human or veterinary use.

What purity is this GHK-Cu?

The current batch tested at 99.45% by HPLC at an independent laboratory, with additional endotoxin, heavy-metals and sterility screening. Certificates are published per batch on our Independent Certifications page.

What sizes does GHK-Cu come in?

GHK-Cu (100mg vials) is offered in 200mg, 500mg, 1000mg boxes (2 × 100mg vials, 5 × 100mg vials, 10 × 100mg vials), priced $150.00 to $900.00 — the per-mg cost falls as box size increases.

How should GHK-Cu be stored?

Keep sealed lyophilized vials refrigerated at 2–8°C away from light (stable 24+ months). After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate and use within the study-validated window, typically 30 days; never freeze reconstituted solution.
