GHK-CU
GHK-CU (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper Complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide widely studied for its role in cellular signalling, tissue remodelling, and gene expression modulation. Upon binding with copper ions (Cu²⁺), GHK forms GHK-CU, a biologically active complex involved in angiogenesis, extracellular matrix regulation, and regenerative processes.
This compound is supplied as a high-purity lyophilised powder, exhibiting a characteristic blue to blue-violet coloration due to copper complexation, and is optimised for stability, precise reconstitution, and reproducibility in controlled laboratory environments.
