Product Overview

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring human plasma tripeptide that has been the subject of considerable scientific research since its discovery in the 1970s. The compound consists of three amino acids (glycine, histidine, and lysine) complexed with a copper(II) ion.

Prime 9 Labs supplies GHK-Cu as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder with documented purity ≥99% as confirmed by HPLC analysis. Each batch is independently tested by accredited U.S. laboratories before distribution. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is included with every order.

Compound Details

  • Full name: Copper(II) 3-aminopropanoyl-L-histidyl-L-lysinat
  • Molecular formula: C₁₄H₂₄CuN₆O₄
  • Molecular weight: 340.38 g/mol
  • CAS Number: 49557-75-7
  • Appearance: Blue-green lyophilized powder

Research Background

GHK-Cu has been documented in peer-reviewed literature in the context of skin biology, wound healing, and anti-aging research. Studies have investigated its interactions with fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and the extracellular matrix.

Areas of Study

  • Fibroblast proliferation and migration in wound healing models
  • Collagen and elastin synthesis stimulation in dermal tissue
  • Antioxidant gene expression upregulation (SOD, catalase)
  • Anti-inflammatory cytokine modulation (TNF-α, IL-6)
  • Angiogenesis and nerve outgrowth in tissue repair
  • Hair follicle stimulation in dermatological research

All research applications are intended for laboratory settings only. Prime 9 Labs does not provide medical advice. Researchers should consult relevant literature and institutional protocols before use.
