GHK-CU 10Vials/box
Product Basic Information
Full Name: GHK-Cu (Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine Copper, Copper Peptide)
Essence: Natural tripeptide chelated copper ion complex
Form: Sterile polypeptide lyophilized powder, individually packaged in vials
Uses: An in vitro research reagent for skin anti-aging, collagen regeneration, wound healing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and connective tissue maintenance.
II. Mechanism of Action
Collagen Regulation: Stimulates fibroblasts to synthesize type I/III collagen and elastin, while inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) from breaking down collagen, thus thickening dermal connective tissue.
Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging: Increases SOD and glutathione activity, reduces oxidative stress damage to skin cells, and delays cell aging.
Anti-inflammatory and Soothing: Downregulates inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IL-6, reducing epidermal redness and chronic mild inflammation.
Angiogenesis: Mildly promotes microvascular endothelial cell proliferation, improves tissue microcirculation, and accelerates wound nutrient supply.
Copper Ion Synergy: Copper is a core cofactor for many enzymes, participating in skin repair, pigment metabolism, and the construction of the stratum corneum barrier.
III. Core Scientific Efficacy
* Skin Anti-aging and Firming: Suitable for in vitro models of wrinkles, skin laxity, and photoaging, improving skin elasticity.
* Wound and Scar Repair: Promotes wound epithelialization, reduces pathological collagen accumulation, and fades hypertrophic scars.
* Barrier Repair: Improves dryness and damaged stratum corneum, suitable for sensitive skin and post-cosmetic surgery repair experiments.
* Hair Research: Stimulates hair follicle matrix cell activity, used in controlled experiments on hair loss and the mechanisms of hair follicle aging.
Combined Experimental Applications: Can be combined with TB-500, BPC-157, KPV, and Snap-8 to construct a combined repair + anti-aging + anti-inflammatory model.
IV. Reconstitution and Storage Specifications
Reconstitution Solvent: Sterile water for injection, a 0.6% aqueous acetic acid solution, and cosmetic-grade deionized water are all acceptable.
Storage Requirements
Unopened lyophilized powder: Store at 2–8°C, protected from light and kept sealed. Freezing is strictly prohibited.
Reconstituted liquid: Store at 4℃, protected from light.
