What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys:Cu²⁺) found in human plasma. It has been referenced in published preclinical literature. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized research compound.

Overview

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys:Cu²⁺) found endogenously in human plasma, supplied as a high-purity lyophilized research compound. For research use only.

History

GHK was first identified by Dr. Loren Pickart in the 1970s from human albumin studies. Its copper complex (GHK-Cu) was subsequently characterized in published research over the following decades.

Research Findings

This peptide-copper complex carries the True Research Certified designation, awarded exclusively to compounds that achieve verified ≥99% purity through independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis. True Research Certified products undergo batch-level endotoxin screening via the LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) method and are accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and endotoxin results. This certification reflects our commitment to supplying only the highest-grade research materials to the scientific community.
