Product Overview
GHK-Cu Raw is a highly purified synthetic tripeptide-copper complex comprised of the amino acid sequence L-glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to a copper (II) ion. Operating as an endogenous plasma carrier peptide, this reference compound features a high affinity for copper ions, serving as a primary standard for investigating cellular remodeling, extracellular matrix regulation, and tissue repair biology.
In preclinical biomolecular frameworks and cell cultures, GHK-Cu is heavily utilized to observe its impact on collagen and elastin gene expression cascades, fibroblasts behavior, and angiogenesis pathways. Its ultra-pure raw crystalline format ensures completely stable chemical kinetics across diverse analytical testing applications.

Laboratory Handling & Storage Guidelines
- Reconstitution: Reconstitute using sterile bacteriostatic water or standard analytical saline solutions. Gently swirl the vial in a smooth circular motion; avoid high-shear mechanical vortexing to protect the baseline structural layout of the tripeptide-copper bond.
- Long-Term Storage: Store the raw lyophilized powder desiccated at -20°C to -80°C. Protect meticulously from moisture contamination, ambient atmospheric humidity, and direct solar exposure.
- Short-Term Stability: Post-reconstitution, the matrix solution must be stored under stable refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C and utilized within 14 days to preserve maximum biochemical integrity.
