GHK-Cu 50MG

Product overview

GHK-Cu 50MG is a copper complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. It is supplied as blue lyophilised powder in a 50mg catalogue presentation (SKU CU50).

GHK-Cu is a small peptide bound to copper. Researchers examine how it binds copper and how it affects cell movement, extracellular-matrix signals, gene activity and oxidative processes in laboratory models.

What researchers study

• Copper binding and peptide chemistry
• Extracellular-matrix and cell-movement models
• Gene activity and wound-model research
• Oxidative-stress and metal-balance tests

Evidence and limitations

Most evidence comes from laboratory or animal models. Results vary with concentration, copper availability and the model used.

Storage and laboratory handling

Before preparing a solution: Keep the vial sealed, dry and protected from light. Follow the product label, safety data and batch documentation for the required storage temperature.

After preparing a solution: No product-specific shelf life or universal compatibility has been established. The laboratory must validate the solvent, concentration, container, temperature and hold time for its method.

Handle only in an appropriately equipped laboratory using suitable personal protective equipment and local disposal procedures.
