Description
GHK-Cu is a copper-associated tripeptide research material based on the amino-acid sequence Gly-His-Lys.
Unlike an uncomplexed peptide, GHK-Cu incorporates copper coordination chemistry. Different coordination states, stoichiometries, counter-ions, and reporting conventions can result in different CAS numbers, molecular formulas, and molecular weights.
For this reason, the exact copper-to-peptide ratio, molecular form, counter-ion state, purity specification, and analytical identity should be taken from the applicable lot-specific Certificate of Analysis.
Research Applications
GHK-Cu may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:
- Copper-peptide coordination studies
- Peptide identity and characterization
- Metal-binding research
- Molecular interaction analysis
- Structure-function studies
- Analytical peptide comparison
- Stability assessment
- Non-clinical biochemical and cellular models
Any experimental observations should remain specific to the applicable research system and should not be interpreted as evidence of therapeutic, cosmetic, regenerative, dermatological, or clinical effectiveness.
Structural Information
The peptide component of GHK-Cu consists of:
Gly-His-Lys
One-letter representation:
GHK
Copper coordination converts the parent GHK tripeptide into a metal-peptide complex. Because the exact coordination structure can affect molecular specifications, do not assign a single universal molecular formula or molecular weight unless the supplied form has been confirmed.
Analytical Identification
Relevant analytical characterization may include:
- GHK peptide identity confirmation
- Copper-complex verification
- Copper-content analysis
- Molecular mass assessment
- Chromatographic purity testing
- Structural characterization
- Counter-ion analysis
- Lot-specific quality testing
Specifications & Documentation
Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:
- Material identity
- Peptide sequence
- Copper coordination form
- Copper-to-peptide ratio
- Molecular formula
- Molecular weight
- CAS identifier
- Salt or counter-ion form
- Purity specification
- Analytical testing
- Lot or batch information
- Certificate of Analysis
- Storage requirements
Authenticated batch documentation should take precedence over generalized database or supplier values.
Storage & Handling
Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that could compromise peptide or copper-complex integrity.
Follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for research materials.
