About GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys, supplied as a lyophilised research compound with the blue-green colouration characteristic of the intact complex. This copper peptide is used in controlled in-vitro studies of extracellular-matrix signalling, collagen-pathway readouts and peptide-metal coordination chemistry.

Why researchers choose Avanti Peptides GHK-Cu: Colour is the first tell on a copper peptide — every GHK-Cu lot is checked for appearance alongside identity and purity, so you can see the complex is intact before you open it.

Reconstituting and storing GHK-Cu

  1. Before reconstitution: Store lyophilised vials at 2–8 °C, protected from light and moisture.
  2. Equilibrate: Allow vial and diluent to reach room temperature before opening.
  3. Reconstitute: Add Bacteriostatic Water (10 ml recommended). Swirl gently — do not vortex.
  4. After reconstitution: Store at 2–8 °C. Prepare aliquots to minimise freeze–thaw cycles.
  5. Compatibility: Use only within protocols that comply with your institution’s SOPs and local regulations.

GHK-Cu in research

Researchers use GHK-Cu to examine how peptide-metal coordination affects extracellular-matrix biology, including collagen-related transcriptional readouts, fibroblast assays and cell-surface interaction studies. Because the copper(II) centre is integral to activity in these models, this copper peptide is best stored dry and protected from light until immediately before use.

Synthesis and quality assurance

Avanti Peptides manufactures GHK-Cu via controlled, validated solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity verification, HPLC purity analysis (≥99%), and appearance inspection before release.

Frequently asked questions about GHK-Cu

What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a 3-amino-acid peptide (sequence: Gly-His-Lys (copper(II) complex)). It is used exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research. See the product overview above for full context.
How should I store the peptide?
Store lyophilised vials at 2–8 °C, away from light and moisture. After reconstitution, keep at 2–8 °C and use aliquots to minimise freeze–thaw cycles.
What diluent should I use for reconstitution?
Most laboratories use Bacteriostatic Water (10 ml). Always follow your lab’s standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the specific assay.
Do you provide batch documentation / Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. Batch documentation including test results (CoA) is available on request. If it is not attached to your order confirmation, contact our support team and we will add it immediately.
Is this product intended for human use?
No. This material is strictly for laboratory research only and is not intended for human consumption, clinical application, or veterinary use.
