In plain English
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-carrying peptide that researchers study for how it signals cells and helps move copper inside biological systems. It is sold for laboratory research only, not for human use.
Technical description
GHK-Cu is an endogenous copper-binding tripeptide complex that has been studied for its role in cell-associated biochemical signaling pathways, including copper handling, extracellular-matrix-associated cellular activity, and antioxidant/redox balance. In vitro and preclinical research suggest it functions as a signaling molecule capable of influencing cell-associated biological processes and pathways linked to redox/oxidative balance, and it has been investigated for facilitating copper transport and supporting normal cellular responses to environmental and physiological stressors. CliniPeptide supplies GHK-Cu as a lyophilized powder (>99% purity), molecular weight 403.92 g/mol, for research use only.
