In the sophisticated field of biochemical research, certain molecules stand out for their remarkable multifunctionality and profound influence on cellular processes. Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine, complexed with copper—commonly known as GHK-Cu or Copper Peptide—is one such molecule. GenLabs is proud to introduce our GHK-Cu 50mg Vial, a premium-grade, lyophilized research peptide, accompanied by a dedicated vial of Bacteriostatic Water (Bac Water) for precise reconstitution. This product is meticulously manufactured under stringent controls for researchers dedicated to exploring the frontiers of tissue repair, extracellular matrix biology, and antioxidant defense mechanisms.
This complete kit represents the pinnacle of purity and convenience, designed for the exacting standards of laboratory science. It is intended for research use only in controlled laboratory settings (in-vitro) and is not for human or veterinary use.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide (Glycine-Histidine-Lysine) found in human plasma, whose levels correlate with youth and health. Its primary role is that of a master regulator and signaling molecule. When complexed with copper (Cu2+), it becomes a potent bioactive compound that influences a wide array of genes related to tissue homeostasis.
The core mechanism of GHK-Cu lies in its ability to:
Modulate Gene Expression: Research indicates GHK-Cu can upregulate or downregulate hundreds of genes, shifting cellular activity from a state of degeneration and inflammation to a state of repair and regeneration.
Promote Collagen & Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Synthesis: It is a well-documented stimulator of key structural proteins (collagen I, III, IV) and compounds like elastin and fibronectin, which are fundamental to the integrity, firmness, and elasticity of connective tissue.
Exert Powerful Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Actions: GHK-Cu can scavenge damaging free radicals and reduce the expression of inflammatory cytokines, thereby helping to protect cells from oxidative stress and creating a conducive environment for healing.
Support Cellular Migration and Remodeling: It attracts immune cells and fibroblasts to sites of need and promotes the organized remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), crucial for proper tissue repair over mere scar formation.
Our commitment is to provide researchers with tools of the highest integrity, ensuring that experimental results are a reflection of the compound's true biological activity, not compromised by impurities or inconsistencies.
High-Purity Lyophilized Powder: Each vial contains 50mg of GHK-Cu in a sterile, lyophilized (freeze-dried) form, ensuring long-term stability and potency.
Included Bacteriostatic Water: We provide a separate, sterile 30ml vial of Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol). This is essential for safe, multi-dose reconstitution, preventing bacterial growth in the solution over the research period.
Third-Party Verified: Every batch is analyzed by an independent, ISO-certified laboratory for ≥99% purity (via HPLC), accurate peptide content (via AAA), and absence of bacterial endotoxins and contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (CoA) are available upon request.
Sterile Filtered and Aseptically Packaged: The solution is sterile-filtered (0.22µ) before lyophilization, and all handling is done in an ISO Class 5 cleanroom environment to guarantee sterility.
Precise Batch Tracking: Fully traceable manufacturing and batch numbers ensure transparency and accountability.
GenLabs GHK-Cu is a versatile tool for investigating numerous biochemical pathways. Key areas of research interest include:
Dermatological & Wound Healing Research:
Study its effects on fibroblast proliferation and collagen production in cell cultures.
Investigate mechanisms of re-epithelialization and ECM remodeling in wound healing models.
Explore modulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) for balanced tissue repair.
Anti-Aging & Cellular Senescence Studies:
Examine its role in protecting cells from UV-induced damage and oxidative stress.
Research potential effects on telomere maintenance and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in aged cell lines.
Analyze its impact on sirtuin pathways and other longevity-associated mechanisms.
Anti-Inflammatory & Immunomodulation Research:
Assess its capacity to reduce pro-inflammatory markers (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) in stimulated immune cell cultures.
Study its influence on macrophage polarization from a pro-inflammatory (M1) to a pro-healing (M2) state.
Hair Follicle & Dermal Papilla Cell Research:
Investigate potential stimulating effects on hair follicle stem cells and dermal papilla cells in culture, exploring pathways related to hair growth cycling.
Important: This is a general guideline for research purposes. Sterile technique must be used at all times.
Gather Materials: GHK-Cu 50mg vial, Bacteriostatic Water vial, alcohol wipes, sterile syringes (1ml insulin syringes are precise for measurement).
Sanitize: Wipe the rubber stoppers of both vials with an alcohol swab.
Reconstitute: Draw the desired volume of Bacteriostatic Water into a sterile syringe. Gently inject the solution down the side of the GHK-Cu vial to avoid aggressive agitation. Swirl gently until the powder is fully dissolved—do not shake.
Storage: Once reconstituted, the solution should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C or 36-46°F) and used within a timeframe appropriate for sterile research protocols (consideration of the bacteriostatic agent's efficacy). The lyophilized powder should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light.
Typical Research Dilutions: Concentrations used in vitro vary by cell type and assay. Common research concentrations range from 1-100 nM. Researchers must perform dose-response studies to determine optimal concentrations for their specific model system.
Commitment to Science: We support the research community with reliable, high-specification biochemicals.
Transparency: Access to third-party CoAs for every product.
Rigorous QC: Our multi-point quality control system covers mass spectrometry (MS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), amino acid analysis (AAA), and sterility testing.
Stability Guarantee: Products are stabilized and packaged to ensure they arrive with full activity.
