Copper complex

GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is the complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine and a copper(II) ion. In research models, the tripeptide binds copper through the imidazole and peptide-bond nitrogens and acts as a carrier of that ion into the cellular environment. It has been studied in models of collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix remodeling in in vitro studies.

Research context & mechanism

In in vitro studies, the complex modulates expression of genes associated with the extracellular matrix in cultured fibroblasts. In cellular models, its activity has been linked to copper ion coordination rather than to a specific receptor of its own.

Laboratory handling

Reconstitution: Laboratory procedure: allow the closed vial to reach room temperature, disinfect the septum and slowly transfer the diluent against the inner wall of the vial. Do not shake; gently swirl the vial until fully dissolved. Record the volume, diluent and date in the batch log.
Storage: Sealed vial of lyophilized material: store at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted material; aliquot when the experimental design permits.
Protective equipment: Handle in a clean work area with a lab coat, nitrile gloves and eye protection. Dispose of vials, tips and sharps according to the laboratory waste procedure.
