GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) – 50mg Research Peptide

Overview

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a high-purity copper-binding peptide supplied from New Zealand for laboratory research, non-clinical analysis, and in-vitro experimental applications within controlled research environments.

This compound is provided as a blue lyophilised powder (≥99% purity) and is intended strictly for controlled research environments and analytical laboratory workflows.

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide composed of the amino acid sequence glycine-histidine-lysine (Gly-His-Lys) complexed with a copper ion. In laboratory research settings, copper-binding peptides are commonly studied in relation to peptide signalling pathways, protein interactions, and copper-peptide biochemical dynamics.

This material is not a finished product and must not be used in any human, animal, medical, cosmetic, or in-vivo context.

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide that has been examined in laboratory studies involving peptide signalling pathways and copper-dependent biochemical processes.

Within research environments, copper-binding peptides may be investigated for their interactions with cellular signalling mechanisms, extracellular matrix proteins, and peptide-mediated regulatory pathways.

These investigations are conducted in controlled laboratory environments using in-vitro experimental models and analytical methods.
