Description

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) first isolated from human plasma. It is extensively studied in dermatology and tissue-remodelling research, with a large body of published work on collagen synthesis, wound models and gene-expression profiles in cell culture.

Aeon Labs supplies GHK-Cu as a lyophilized powder in a sealed glass vial. Its distinctive blue colour comes from the copper complex. Every lot is independently tested for purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry, with the report linked from the lot number on the vial.

Storage and handling

Store at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. GHK-Cu is hygroscopic; keep the vial sealed until use.

Why is GHK-Cu blue?

The colour comes from the copper(II) ion complexed with the tripeptide. A pale blue lyophilized cake or solution is normal and expected.

How should GHK-Cu be stored?

At −20 °C, sealed, protected from light and moisture. It is hygroscopic, so open only when ready to use in your protocol.
