What Is GHK-Cu? Research Guide
Definition
GHK-Cu is a synthetic peptide classified as copper(ii)-binding tripeptide complex. Researchers study GHK-Cu for its copper-peptide research and extracellular-matrix models properties. First identified through established synthetic chemistry protocols, it has become a widely studied tool in laboratory investigation.
GHK-Cu Mechanism of Action
GHK-Cu acts as copper(ii)-binding tripeptide complex. With a molecular weight of approximately 403.9 Da and a molecular formula of C14H24CuN6O4, it interacts with specific receptor targets to modulate cellular signaling pathways. The CAS registry number for GHK-Cu is 89030-95-5.
GHK-Cu Research Applications
GHK-Cu is studied in copper-peptide research, where researchers investigate its receptor-level and downstream signaling effects in controlled laboratory models.
GHK-Cu is studied in extracellular-matrix models, where researchers investigate its receptor-level and downstream signaling effects in controlled laboratory models.
GHK-Cu is studied in tissue-remodeling studies, where researchers investigate its receptor-level and downstream signaling effects in controlled laboratory models.
GHK-Cu Storage Requirements
Store lyophilized GHK-Cu at -20°C (-4°F) for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2-8°C (36-46°F) and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as this can degrade peptide integrity. Protect from light and moisture during storage.
