GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide complex composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine. It is studied in laboratory settings for its biochemical properties and interactions with copper ions.
“GHK” represents the three amino acids in the peptide sequence: glycine, histidine, and lysine. “Cu” refers to the copper ion associated with the tripeptide.
GHK-Cu is supplied as a lyophilized, or freeze-dried, peptide powder. Its characteristic blue coloration is associated with the copper-peptide complex, and minor variations in appearance may occur.
Additional background information is available through the peer-reviewed scientific publications and external database records referenced on this product page. These sources provide further information about GHK-Cu and its research history.
