Description
Description
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a synthetically manufactured, highly purified copper complex consisting of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to a copper (II) ion. Found naturally in human plasma, this specialized metallopeptide functions as a critical signaling agent that modulates extracellular matrix synthesis, cellular migration, and gene expression pathways related to tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in in vitro models.
Our GHK-Cu reagent is synthesized utilizing advanced solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methodologies and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification protocols. This process yields a pristine, highly uniform lyophilized crystalline powder cake engineered for maximum stability, visual consistency, and reproducibility across diverse scientific screening and cell-culture applications.

Reconstitution & Laboratory Storage
-
- Lyophilized Storage: To maintain optimal structural integrity and prevent natural peptide degradation or oxidation, store the dry powder cake continuously frozen at or below -20°C prior to evaluation. Stable under properly desiccated conditions for up to 24 months from the manufacturing date.
- Reconstitution Guidelines: Allow the glass vial to naturally acclimatize to room temperature before introducing an appropriate laboratory solvent, such as sterile Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol). Gently swirl the container until the blue powder dissolves completely. Do not shake or agitate aggressively, as high kinetic force can destabilize and fracture delicate peptide-copper bonds.
- Post-Reconstitution Storage: Once liquid solution has been introduced, store continuously refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Protect entirely from prolonged exposure to direct light or ambient UV radiation. Utilize within 30 days of fluid integration.
