About This Compound
GHK-CU
GHK-Cu 50mg — Research Overview
GHK-Cu (Glycine-Histidine-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide first isolated from human plasma. It is one of the most extensively studied peptides in dermatological and regenerative research, examined for collagen synthesis, wound healing, skin biology, and hair follicle regulation.
Neogenesis Bio Labs supplies GHK-Cu as a lyophilized peptide at ≥99% purity, verified by third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis.
What Researchers Study GHK-Cu For
- Collagen Synthesis — fibroblast stimulation and extracellular matrix production pathway studies
- Wound Healing — tissue repair, cell migration, and angiogenesis research models
- Skin Biology — dermal thickness, elasticity, and cellular turnover pathway studies
- Hair Follicle Research — follicle enlargement, hair growth cycle regulation, and keratinocyte studies
- Antioxidant Pathways — superoxide dismutase activity and oxidative stress regulation research
- Anti-Inflammatory Signaling — cytokine modulation and inflammatory pathway studies in tissue models
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of copper in GHK-Cu?
The copper ion is a critical cofactor for lysyl oxidase (collagen/elastin crosslinking), superoxide dismutase (antioxidant defense), and several enzymes central to connective tissue biology. The GHK tripeptide acts as a copper transport and delivery mechanism in research models.
How does GHK-Cu interact with collagen pathways?
GHK-Cu has been studied for stimulating fibroblast proliferation and upregulating collagen synthesis genes. Research also suggests involvement in MMP regulation governing extracellular matrix remodeling in wound healing and skin repair research.
What reconstitution approach is standard?
Lyophilized GHK-Cu is typically reconstituted with sterile or bacteriostatic water. Store at or below 4°C and use within 30 days. Store lyophilized powder at 2-8°C prior to reconstitution.
Is a Certificate of Analysis included?
Yes. Every vial ships with a third-party COA confirming compound identity, purity (≥99% HPLC), and copper complex integrity.
