GHK-Cu (50mg Unit)
Description
GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu — Research Grade Peptide
Overview
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper (II) complex) is a research-grade copper-peptide supplied for in vitro investigation of cell signaling, extracellular matrix regulation, and cellular migration. Supplied as a lyophilized peptide complex for stability and analytical precision; QC verified for sequence/complex fidelity and batch purity.
Research context
Intended for non-clinical studies, GHK-Cu is used to probe copper-dependent peptide signaling, matrix metalloproteinase regulation, collagen and elastin expression, cell migration and proliferation, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses, and mechanistic combination studies with growth factors or metabolic agents.
