GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide) Product Introduction
Product Name: GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide)
CAS No.: 89030-95-5
Appearance: Blue crystalline powder
Purity: 98%
Specifications: ISO 9001:2015 certified
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide complex composed of glycine, histidine, lysine, and a copper ion. Recognized for its elegant blue color derived from the coordinated copper ion, GHK-Cu is one of the earliest peptides discovered with significant cosmeceutical and regenerative properties. It plays a critical role in skin repair, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant defense by maintaining the coordination state between the copper ion and the peptide, which is essential for its biological activity.
Skin Regeneration and Anti-Aging:
Stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans in fibroblasts, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
Acts as a natural modulator of multiple cellular pathways involved in tissue repair and regeneration.
Antioxidant Protection:
Reduces oxidative stress by maintaining copper ion homeostasis, preventing free copper ions from causing oxidative damage.
Enhances the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a key antioxidant enzyme.
Wound Healing and Anti-Inflammatory:
Functions as a chemoattractant for inflammatory and endothelial cells, accelerating wound healing.
Promotes tissue regeneration by signaling stem cell proliferation and repair mechanisms.
High Bioavailability:
Low molecular weight (469.0 g/mol) ensures efficient skin penetration and rapid absorption.
Copper Ion Signaling:
Copper ions act as cofactors for enzymes critical in connective tissue formation, cellular respiration, and antioxidant defense.
Regulates cellular behavior and metabolism, supporting overall skin health.
Cosmetics and Skincare:
Used in anti-aging serums, moisturizers, and creams to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance radiance.
Ideal for post-procedure skincare (e.g., microneedling, laser treatments) to accelerate recovery.
Medical and Dermatology:
Incorporated into formulations for wound healing, scar reduction, and treatment of inflammatory skin conditions.
Applied in regenerative medicine for tissue engineering and repair.
Nutraceuticals:
Explored in oral supplements to support systemic antioxidant defense and skin health.
Molecular Formula: C14H24CuN6O4.
Molecular Weight: 469.0 g/mol.
Appearance: Blue crystalline powder.
Solubility: Soluble in water and aqueous solutions.
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC).
Impurity Profile: Free copper ions and residual solvents strictly controlled to ensure safety and efficacy.
ISO 9001 Certification: Manufactured under stringent quality control protocols.
Packed in airtight, light-resistant containers under inert gas.
Store at 2-8°C, protected from light and moisture.
Shelf life: 24 months under recommended conditions.
Note: GHK-Cu is a groundbreaking ingredient bridging skincare and regenerative medicine. Its dual role in copper ion regulation and peptide-driven cellular activation makes it indispensable in advanced dermatological and cosmetic formulations.
