Overview & specifications

Overview

GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (Gly-His-Lys). Copper is held by three nitrogen donors — the glycine amino group, the Gly-His peptide nitrogen and the histidine imidazole — while the lysine side chain remains free. The complex is widely used as a reference compound in cell-culture and gene-expression studies.

Structure in brief

Copper(II) sits in a square-planar arrangement, bound by three nitrogen atoms from the glycine and histidine residues; a fourth position is typically taken by water. Because GHK holds copper less tightly than serum albumin but more tightly than many low-affinity ligands, the complex is often used in laboratory models of copper exchange and transport.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between GHK and GHK-Cu?

GHK is the free tripeptide Gly-His-Lys. GHK-Cu is the same tripeptide bound to a copper(II) ion. This product is supplied as the copper complex.

Is a Certificate of Analysis available?

Yes. Every batch has a lot-matched Certificate of Analysis, which you can find by batch number on the COAs page.

What form does it ship in?

GHK-Cu is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in a sealed vial, available in 50 mg and 100 mg sizes.

How should it be stored?

Keep the sealed vial frozen (−20 °C or below), away from light and moisture, and follow the handling notes on the batch certificate.
