Description
About this peptide
About This Compound
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the naturally occurring human tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK), first identified in human plasma. GHK carries a high affinity for copper ions, similar to the copper-transport site found on albumin. The way a key ring holds several keys together, the GHK-Cu complex is studied for how it coordinates activity across multiple cellular signaling pathways involved in tissue remodeling.
Research Context
Pickart documented GHK-Cu's activity across collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis pathways, metalloproteinase modulation, and fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation in a review of tissue-remodeling research models (Pickart, J Biomater Sci Polym Ed, 2008 — PMID 18644225). A later review examined GHK-Cu's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in the context of oxidative-stress research models relevant to cognitive-aging research (Pickart et al., Oxid Med Cell Longev, 2012 — PMID 22666519). A 2015 review revisited GHK's documented activity across cellular pathways relevant to skin-regeneration research, including gene-expression modulation in cultured cell models (Pickart et al., Biomed Res Int, 2015 — PMID 26236730).

Certificates of analysis
We independently test selected batches. Each report covers the lot number shown on it.
Shipping & Storage
Handling this material
Shipping
Orders ship within 24 hours. Delivered via USPS Priority or standard FedEx unless expedited shipping is selected at checkout. Tracking is emailed on dispatch and mirrored in your account.
In-transit handling
Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable and ship at ambient temperature. Storage in our warehouse is cooled; shipment does not require refrigeration.
Long-term storage
Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable at ambient temperature; refrigeration (2–8°C) extends shelf life. Where a published Certificate of Analysis exists for your strength and origin, it is on the COA tab. Not for human or animal consumption.
Returns
Because these are research-grade biologics, we cannot accept returns on opened vials. Damaged-in-transit shipments are replaced at no cost within 7 days of delivery.
Frequently asked
Common questions
No. Every SKU is labeled and sold strictly for laboratory research use only. These are not drugs, dietary supplements, or veterinary products. Research Use Only policy
We independently test selected batches at a third-party lab and publish those certificates of analysis. Not every batch has one. The COA tab on each product shows whether the strength and origin you picked has a published report.
Discreet outer box, no branding on the exterior. Invoices are emailed rather than enclosed. Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable and ship at ambient temperature; no cold-chain packaging is used in transit.
All in-stock items ordered on the same day ship together. Backorders release automatically once the missing SKU is back in stock.
