GHK-Cu 1g Copper Peptide Topical Overview

GHK-Cu 1g Copper Peptide Topical from Peptide Science is a one-gram supply of the copper-bound glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine tripeptide, formulated for laboratory skin-research and preclinical dermatology use. The 1000 mg format is the volume needed for repeated cell-culture passages in fibroblast and keratinocyte studies, where the copper-bound tripeptide is the standard reference compound for collagen-pathway and antioxidant-response work.

Class and Mechanism in Skin Research

GHK is a naturally occurring tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) present in human plasma; the copper-bound form GHK-Cu is the version studied in skin-cell research for its high affinity to copper and the resulting effects on copper-dependent enzymatic pathways. Published cell-culture work has characterised GHK-Cu for collagen and decorin synthesis in fibroblasts, modulation of metalloproteinase activity, and antioxidant signalling. The copper ion is structurally bound to the histidine imidazole and the carboxyl-terminus of the tripeptide. Browse related compounds in the cosmetic peptide range.

Product Specifications

For the capsule-encapsulated 2 mg per capsule format suited to oral-bioavailability research models, see GHK-Cu 2mg x 60-Capsule Copper Tripeptide.

Handling and Storage

Copper-bound peptides are light-sensitive at the copper-coordination centre; storage at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius in an opaque or amber container preserves the bound state. The topical formulation is intended for direct application in cell-culture or animal-model dermatology research, not as a finished cosmetic product for consumer use. For combination-research blends pairing GHK-Cu with healing peptides BPC-157 and TB-500, see BPC-157 plus TB-500 plus GHK-Cu 60mg Glow Blend.

Quality and Shipping

Each batch passes HPLC at greater than 99 percent purity, with mass-spectrometry confirmation of the copper-coordinated tripeptide mass. A signed Certificate of Analysis ships with every order. Material is prepared in a US laboratory under ISO 9001:2015-aligned quality systems and dispatched in insulated, light-protected packaging via overnight or two-day courier. Research-grade signal-peptide stock for SNARE-complex studies is also available; see the wider healing-peptide catalogue for tissue-repair complements.
