1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to a divalent copper ion (Cu²+). It is found in human plasma, saliva, and urine, where it plays a role in regulating cellular processes.
This peptide is widely studied in biochemical and molecular research for its involvement in tissue remodeling, cellular signaling, and extracellular matrix regulation. GHK-Cu also interacts with metal ion transport and binding pathways, making it relevant for studies related to copper metabolism and cellular homeostasis.
2. STORAGE & HANDLING PROTOCOL
Long-term Storage: Maintain the lyophilized powder at -20°C (-4°F). Ensure the vial remains sealed and protected from light.
