What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide Complex) is a tripeptide-copper complex consisting of glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to a copper ion. With the molecular formula C₁₄H₂₂CuN₆O₄ and a molecular weight of 404.8 g/mol (CAS: 49557-75-7), GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper carrier found in human plasma, saliva, and urine.

Specifications
Mechanism of Action
Copper Transport
Metal ion chelationGHK-Cu functions as a copper carrier, delivering copper ions to cells with high binding affinity and specificity.
TGF-beta Signaling
TGF-beta receptor modulationResearch indicates GHK-Cu influences transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathways in fibroblast cultures.
Antioxidant Activity
ROS scavengingGHK-Cu exhibits copper-dependent superoxide dismutase-like activity in biochemical assays.
Storage & Handling
Temperature:-20°C for long-term storage
Light Sensitivity:Protect from light - copper complexes are photosensitive
Stability Duration:Stable for 18 months when stored properly
GHK-Cu exhibits characteristic blue coloration due to copper coordination. Color change may indicate degradation.
