Product Overview
GHK-Cu 50mg (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper Complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide widely studied for its profound influence on dermal matrix remodeling, wound healing, and cellular gene expression. By chelating copper (II) ions, GHK-Cu regulates thousands of human genes involved in collagen synthesis, tissue repair, anti-inflammatory response, and antioxidant protection.
This 50mg high-yield format provides research facilities with a cost-effective, high-volume unit ideal for extensive cosmetic formulation testing, dermal cell culture assays, and hair follicle growth studies.
Key Research Features & Highlights
Gene Expression Modulation: Serves as a primary reference tool for analyzing the up-regulation and down-regulation of genes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and cellular repair.
Extracellular Matrix Remodeling: Widely utilized to investigate Type I collagen, elastin, glycosaminoglycan, and decorin production in skin fibroblast models.
Pro-Angiogenic & Anti-Inflammatory: Promotes microvascular sprouting while modulating pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion (TNF-α, IL-6) and dampening oxidative stress.
High-Yield 50mg Capacity: Optimal for bulk formulation development, high-throughput screening, and long-term analytical testing.
Primary Applications in Laboratory Research
Dermal Regeneration & Cosmeceutical Research: Studying fibroblast proliferation, skin elasticity restoration, and extracellular matrix remodeling.
Wound Healing & Angiogenesis: Investigating endothelial cell migration, vessel formation, and tissue tensile strength recovery in injury models.
Hair Follicle & Epithelial Biology: Researching follicular cell proliferation, hair shaft enlargement, and scalp tissue homeostasis.
Antioxidant & DNA Repair Signaling: Analyzing free-radical scavenging capacity and DNA damage repair pathways in aged cell lines.
