Description
Copper peptide researched for skin regeneration, collagen synthesis and wound repair.
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide extensively researched for its role in tissue remodelling, collagen synthesis, and wound healing. Laboratory studies investigate its mechanisms in stimulating fibroblast proliferation, upregulating collagen and elastin production, and promoting angiogenesis in skin tissue models. Research focuses on its effects on growth factor signalling, matrix metalloproteinase regulation, and antioxidant pathways using in-vitro skin cell cultures and tissue engineering models. The compound is studied for its potential in accelerating wound repair, supporting skin regeneration, and enhancing dermal remodelling processes.

GHK-Cu (ghk copper peptide) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide studied extensively in dermal and tissue-remodelling research. MyPep Biotech is a UK peptide supplier providing the GHK-Cu peptide for laboratory research purposes, with HPLC-verified purity and a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis provided with every order.
Why GHK-Cu Is Widely Studied
GHK-Cu was first identified in human plasma and has since been the subject of decades of research into its role in collagen synthesis, wound-healing signalling and copper-dependent cellular processes. Its small size and well-characterised copper-binding mechanism make it a common reference compound in studies of extracellular matrix remodelling, and it is frequently compared against other dermal-signalling peptides in formulation and stability research.
Molecular Characteristics
GHK-Cu consists of three amino acids — glycine, histidine and lysine — bound to a copper ion. This copper-binding structure is central to its studied biological activity, as copper plays a cofactor role in several enzymatic processes linked to tissue remodelling and antioxidant signalling. Researchers studying trace-metal peptide complexes often use GHK-Cu as a reference point given the depth of existing structural characterisation in the literature.
Purity Verification and Documentation
Every batch of GHK-Cu supplied by MyPep Biotech is tested by HPLC to confirm purity prior to dispatch. The accompanying Certificate of Analysis includes the batch number, measured purity percentage and test date, enabling direct traceability between documentation and the vial received. We recommend retaining this record with your study documentation.
Storage and Handling
GHK-Cu should be stored lyophilised at -20°C, protected from light, and used within the stability period stated on its COA. Once reconstituted, refrigerated storage and prompt use are recommended, as with other peptide compounds. Reconstitution calculation support is available in our Research Guides section.
Areas of Published Research Interest
GHK-Cu has been studied in a variety of contexts, including:
- Collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix remodelling research
- Dermal and wound-healing signalling models
- Antioxidant and copper-dependent enzymatic activity studies
- Comparative formulation and stability research within the trace-metal peptide class
As with other compounds in our catalogue, we recommend reviewing current peer-reviewed literature specific to your research model before designing a protocol, as reference concentrations and methodology vary by study type.
Research Use Only
GHK-Cu supplied by MyPep Biotech is intended strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research. It is not manufactured, labelled or supplied for human or animal consumption, diagnostic use, cosmetic application or any therapeutic purpose. Researchers are responsible for ensuring appropriate institutional and ethical approval before beginning any study.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy GHK-Cu peptide in the UK?
You can buy GHK-Cu from MyPep Biotech, a UK-based research peptide supplier. Every batch of GHK-Cu is HPLC-tested to 99%+ purity, held in UK stock, dispatched same-day and supplied with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis for laboratory research use only.
Is GHK-Cu HPLC-tested?
Yes. GHK-Cu supplied by MyPep Biotech is verified by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to confirm identity and purity, with the result recorded on the Certificate of Analysis for that batch. See our HPLC purity guide for how to read the result.
How should GHK-Cu be stored and reconstituted?
Lyophilised GHK-Cu should be stored cool, dark and dry, and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before laboratory use. Our peptide reconstitution calculator converts the vial contents and diluent volume into a working concentration. GHK-Cu is for research use only.

GHK-Cu evidence quality and transparent reporting
Laboratory reports should identify the GHK-Cu batch, analytical documentation, preparation conditions, concentration, exposure interval, model system, controls and replicate counts. Chromatographic purity is useful analytical information but should be considered with identity, copper complexation, stability, handling and assay validation.
Search indexed background studies through PubMed. Researchers can also use our peptide research reading guide and peptide limitations guide when assessing claims and reproducibility.
