Overview
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide, studied extensively in tissue remodelling and dermal research contexts. MelanoMax's GHK-Cu is manufactured to pharmaceutical-grade standards and supplied as a sterile, lyophilised powder for laboratory reconstitution.
Storage & Handling
Store the lyophilised (unreconstituted) vial at -20°C, protected from light, until ready for use. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe indicated by your laboratory's standard protocol.
Research Information
Published in vitro research has examined GHK-Cu's role in cellular signalling pathways associated with tissue remodelling, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant activity. Its naturally occurring copper-binding structure has made it a frequently referenced compound in dermal and wound-healing pathway research.
