Overview
About GHK-CU
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide widely studied for its roles in tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis, wound healing, anti-inflammatory activity, and skin remodeling. Its broad biological activity in extracellular matrix support and cellular repair makes it a compound of significant interest in regenerative medicine and dermatological research.
Mechanism of Action
How It Works
GHK-Cu facilitates the delivery of bioavailable copper ions to cells — an essential cofactor for enzymes involved in collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and tissue remodeling. It influences gene expression related to tissue repair and inflammation regulation, promotes angiogenesis, and enhances antioxidant defenses by modulating oxidative stress pathways.
Scientific Literature

Handling
Storage & Reconstitution
Dry Storage
Store lyophilized powder at −20°C, away from light and moisture. Do not open until ready to use. Shelf life is significantly extended by proper dry storage.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute using Bacteriostatic or sterile water. Add solvent slowly to the side of the vial and allow to dissolve gently. Do not shake vigorously.
Post-Reconstitution
Store reconstituted solution refrigerated at 4°C. Use within your laboratory's established timeframe. Do not refreeze after reconstitution.
