GHK-CU, also known as Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper, is a naturally occurring tripeptide complex that binds copper ions. Since its identification in human plasma, it has attracted significant attention in peptide science because of its involvement in cellular signaling and extracellular matrix biology. Today, GHK-CU is widely investigated in molecular biology, regenerative science, tissue engineering, and peptide chemistry.
GHK-CU is a copper-binding tripeptide consisting of three amino acids — Glycine, Histidine, and Lysine — complexed with copper ions. Researchers have identified this peptide naturally in plasma, saliva, and urine, making it one of the most recognized endogenous copper peptides studied in modern molecular biology. Helix Bio's GHK-CU is supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed laboratory vial.
This product exists to support in vitro and laboratory research only. It is manufactured, labeled, and sold for research use only (RUO) — not for human or veterinary use, not for diagnostic procedures, and not for compounding. It is intended for researchers studying extracellular matrix biology, copper transport mechanisms, gene regulation, and tissue engineering models.
Reliable scientific research depends on consistent peptide quality. Helix Bio manufactures research-grade GHK-CU with careful attention to production quality, consistency, and product integrity, supporting controlled laboratory studies in biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical research organizations, universities, and analytical laboratories.
This product is not intended for individual consumers seeking to use it outside a research setting.
