Research Information
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-histidyl-lysine bound to copper), naturally occurring in human plasma but declining with age. It's studied for its role in skin and connective tissue research. Researchers are interested in how it modulates gene expression linked to extracellular matrix remodelling — the framework cells live in — and antioxidant response. Most published work has used in-vitro skin cell models (fibroblasts, keratinocytes) to examine its effects on collagen synthesis and DNA repair pathways.
Research areas
- Fibroblast cell-line research
- Collagen and extracellular matrix studies
- Antioxidant response pathway research
- Wound-healing model investigations
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Batch tested
Every batch is tested for identity and purity (98%+) before it reaches our UK stock.
