Naturally Occurring Peptide
GHK-CU is a tripeptide that is naturally present in human plasma and other tissues. Its levels have been observed to decline with age in some research.
2
Copper Binding
The peptide binds copper ions, forming a copper-peptide complex. This interaction is believed to be important for the peptide's biological activity in preclinical research.
3
Research Applications
Preclinical research has investigated GHK-CU for its potential effects on tissue repair, wound healing, and related cellular processes. The peptide has been studied in laboratory settings for its interactions with cellular pathways involved in tissue maintenance.
Peptide Reconstitution and Use
This product is supplied as a lyophilized powder and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water or sterile water for injection before use. The addition of water converts the freeze-dried powder into a solution suitable for research applications.
The reconstituted peptide solution should be stored as recommended on the product label. Peptide solutions are typically refrigerated and used within a specified timeframe after reconstitution to maintain integrity.
