Buy GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) Research Peptide

Coordination of a copper(II) ion by the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys creates a metallopeptide complex whose biological activity is fundamentally dependent on its metal centre. Also known as Copper Peptide GHK or Copper Tripeptide-1 (CAS 49557-75-7), carries the molecular formula C14H24CuN6O4 and a molecular weight of 403.91 g/mol. The histidine imidazole nitrogen and the terminal amine of glycine form the primary coordination sites for the Cu2+ ion. Produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis followed by copper complexation.

In vitro studies using dermal fibroblast cultures have investigated whether GHK-Cu modulates the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases through copper-dependent transcription factor activation. In vivo rodent models have explored the tissue distribution and copper delivery kinetics of Copper Tripeptide-1, investigating whether the complex functions as a copper chaperone.
