GHK-Cu Overview

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide that occurs naturally in plasma. It is studied for its influence on collagen synthesis and extracellular-matrix signaling, and it draws particular interest in skin, wound-repair, and dermal research. The copper it carries is central to much of its reported activity, tying it to both remodeling and antioxidant pathways.

History

The GHK tripeptide was first isolated from human plasma and shown to have a strong affinity for copper(II). Its plasma concentration declines with age, which helped motivate interest in its remodeling role. Pickart and colleagues characterized its behavior in fibroblast and tissue-remodeling models, establishing the body of work that later research on skin and connective tissue built on.

GHK-Cu Structure

CAS #: 89030-95-5
Formula: C₁₄H₂₂CuN₆O₄
MW: 403.96 g/mol
PubChem ID: 378611

Research Findings

GHK-Cu has been studied in dermal and connective-tissue models for fibroblast proliferation, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, antioxidant signaling, and copper-transport-related activity. The copper-binding role links its remodeling activity to redox and gene-expression effects, which is why it turns up across both structural and antioxidant research. As a naturally occurring molecule with a well-characterized affinity for copper, it serves as a reference tool for studying matrix synthesis and dermal remodeling in the laboratory.

Key Areas of Research:
  • →Structural: Collagen, glycosaminoglycan, matrix synthesis
  • →Vascular: Angiogenic signaling
  • →Systemic: Copper transport, gene-expression modulation

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our products and processes.

What's the actual amount in each vial?+
Each vial contains the labeled mass of lyophilized peptide. Selected sizes appear above the price.
Are additional supplies needed?+
Reconstitution requires bacteriostatic water, sterile syringes, and appropriate research labware – not included.
How long does a vial last?+
Sealed lyophilized vials are stable at −20°C for 24 months. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 28 days.
Does the product come with instructions?+
Each shipment includes the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and recommended handling protocol.
What purity level is guaranteed?+
≥ 99% by reverse-phase HPLC (UV-220nm), confirmed via ESI-TOF mass spectrometry.
How should I store these products?+
Store sealed vials at −20°C, protected from light. Reconstituted solutions at 2–8°C.
What are peptides and how do they work?+
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in organisms, where they act as messengers in many biological systems. While some peptides have been developed for medical use, laboratory research focuses on understanding their activity at the cellular level, examining how they impact essential processes in vitro.
Do these products come with instructions?+
Products from Fast Track Labs are supplied without usage instructions, as they are designated solely for in vitro laboratory research and prohibited by law for human or animal consumption. Any misuse or unlawful application of these products will result in permanent denial of service.
How long do products take to deliver?+
Orders are typically processed and shipped within 24 hours on weekdays. Delivery times vary by location, but most domestic orders arrive within 3–5 business days. You'll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships.
