Ever Vital catalogues GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide Complex) as a tripeptide-copper complex: glycine, histidine, and lysine coordinated to a single copper ion. It carries the molecular formula C₁₄H₂₂CuN₆O₄ and a molecular weight of 404.8 g/mol (CAS: 49557-75-7). The same complex occurs naturally in the body, appearing as a copper carrier in human plasma, saliva, and urine.

Amino Acid SequenceGly-His-Lys

Copper-Binding TripeptideTGF-beta PathwayIntegrin Receptors

Mechanism of Action

Copper TransportMetal ion chelation

Acting as a copper carrier, GHK-Cu delivers copper ions to cells with high binding affinity and specificity.

TGF-beta SignalingTGF-beta receptor modulation

In fibroblast cultures, the research record ties GHK-Cu to shifts in transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathways.

Antioxidant ActivityROS scavenging

Biochemical assays record copper-dependent, superoxide dismutase-like activity from the complex.

Recommended Storage−20°C · Lyophilized

FormLyophilized (freeze-dried) powder

Temperature-20°C for long-term storage

Light SensitivityProtect from light - copper complexes are photosensitive

StabilityStable for 18 months when stored properly

NotesGHK-Cu exhibits characteristic blue coloration due to copper coordination. Color change may indicate degradation.
