Description

GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)

GHK-Cu is a tripeptide with a high affinity for copper ions, forming a complex that is essential for various biological processes. Originally isolated from human plasma, GHK-Cu has become one of the most studied peptides in regenerative medicine and cosmetic science due to its diverse range of biological actions, including its role as a feedback signal for tissue injury.

In Canadian laboratory settings, GHK-Cu is extensively utilized to study the stimulation of collagen, dermatan sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate. Research focuses on its ability to promote “skin remodeling”—the process of removing damaged proteins and replacing them with healthy tissue—making it a vital compound for investigating anti-aging pathways and scar tissue reduction.

Technical Specifications

Peptide Name: GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)
Sequence: Gly-His-Lys (Complexed with Copper)
CAS Number: 89030-95-5
Molecular Formula: C14H22CuN6O4
Molar Mass: 401.91 g/mol
Purity: ≥99.0% (determined by HPLC)
Appearance: Vibrant blue lyophilized powder

Mechanism of Action (Research Context)
GHK-Cu is researched for its systemic and localized regenerative capabilities:

Collagen & Elastin Synthesis: Studies suggest GHK-Cu stimulates fibroblasts to increase the production of collagen and elastin, the primary structural proteins of the extracellular matrix.
Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Signaling: Research explores its ability to lower levels of inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-alpha and IL-6) and increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase.
Angiogenesis: Like BPC-157, GHK-Cu is investigated for its pro-angiogenic properties, helping to study the development of new capillary networks in damaged tissue.
Nerve Regeneration: Investigations focus on GHK-Cu’s potential to increase the expression of nerve growth factors, supporting research into peripheral nerve repair.

Storage and Handling

Lyophilized (Powder): Store at -20°C (-4°F) for long-term stability. The deep blue color is indicative of the copper complex; protect from excessive light and heat to prevent degradation.

Reconstituted (Liquid): Once reconstituted in a research solvent, the solution should be kept at 4°C (39°F) and utilized within 14–21 days. GHK-Cu is stable in aqueous solutions but sensitive to extreme pH shifts.

Handling: Standard laboratory safety protocols apply. This product is for laboratory research use only.

Testing and Quality Control
Flux Peptides provides the high-tier analytical data required for Canadian scientific publication. Every batch of GHK-Cu undergoes:

1. HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography): To ensure purity profiles consistently exceed 99.0%.
2. MS (Mass Spectrometry): To verify the molecular identity of the tripeptide sequence.
3. Copper Complex Verification: To ensure the proper molar ratio of copper to peptide for maximum biological activity.
