Research overview

About this compound

GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. The peptide binds copper with high affinity, and the complex is deep blue in solution.

How it is used in research

It is used in cell-culture work on copper transport and copper-dependent processes, and in studies of gene expression in cultured fibroblasts.

Analytical characterization

Synthetic peptides are usually characterized by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which reports purity as the share of the main peak, and by mass spectrometry, which confirms that the measured molecular mass matches the expected sequence. Results for a specific lot appear under Lab results once they have been posted.
