GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine complexed with copper(II)) that is widely studied in skin-biology, wound-healing, and regenerative research. It is one of the most referenced copper peptides in dermatological and cosmetic-science literature. Innovate Peptides supplies GHK-Cu as a high-purity research chemical for laboratory use in the United Kingdom.
GHK-Cu consists of the tripeptide GHK bound to a copper ion. The GHK sequence occurs naturally in human plasma, and its affinity for copper is central to its activity in research models. It is supplied as a synthetic research-grade complex for use in in-vitro and preclinical study.
In laboratory models, GHK-Cu is associated with the delivery of copper and the modulation of gene expression related to tissue remodelling. Published research on dermal fibroblast and skin models has examined its relationship to collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, antioxidant activity, and the regulation of genes involved in extracellular-matrix turnover.
Published preclinical and in-vitro studies involving GHK-Cu have explored:
Lyophilised GHK-Cu is typically stored below -18°C and protected from light for long-term stability. Once reconstituted for laboratory preparation, research protocols generally recommend refrigeration at 2-8°C and use within a defined working window. Always follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling research chemicals.
Every batch is independently third-party tested for purity and identity, dispatched same-day on UK orders placed before 2 PM GMT, and shipped tracked. Batch-specific certificates of analysis are available on request with your order number.
