Description
GHK‑Cu is the copper(II) complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide glycine‑histidine‑lysine (GHK). In research settings it is used as a copper‑binding peptide standard and is frequently referenced in studies of extracellular matrix biology, collagen‑related signalling and oxidative stress pathways.
Supplied as a blue/blue‑green lyophilised solid. As a metal complex, physical appearance can vary slightly by batch. For best reproducibility, document solvent/buffer, concentration and storage conditions in your lab notes and refer to the lot COA where available.
