GHK‑Cu – 50mg / 100mg

GHK‑Cu (Copper Tripeptide‑1) is a naturally occurring tripeptide bound to copper(II), widely used in laboratory research exploring cellular signalling, tissue‑related pathways, and copper‑dependent biochemical processes.

Originally identified in human plasma, GHK‑Cu has become a key molecule of interest in studies involving gene expression, oxidative balance, and extracellular matrix behaviour.

This compound is supplied as a high‑purity lyophilised peptide, suitable exclusively for controlled research environments.

Areas of Research Interest
