At a glance
Type: Copper-binding tripeptide
Category: Cosmetic & cellular research
Alternate names: Copper peptide GHK, Tripeptide-1 copper, GHK copper complex
Historical context
GHK was identified in human plasma in the 1970s; copper complexation became a focus in dermatological and regenerative research contexts. Modern literature explores collagen synthesis markers, antioxidant pathways, and tissue remodeling in controlled cell culture — not clinical outcomes.
Active research areas
Extracellular matrix remodeling
Fibroblast and keratinocyte culture models
Copper peptide stability assays
Cosmetic formulation research (in vitro)
Gene expression panel studies
Material availability
VaultLabs catalog SKUs: ghk-cu-50mg, ghk-cu-100mg — view product pages for current AED pricing and lot documentation.
COA verification available per batch when published to the documentation portal.
Research context
GHK-Cu appears in peer-reviewed literature examining collagen-related gene expression, metalloproteinase activity, and oxidative stress markers in cell culture systems.
VaultLabs positions GHK-Cu as a catalog reference material with lot traceability — not as a cosmetic product, supplement, or therapeutic agent.
Analytical qualification
Incoming material qualification should include COA review (purity/HPLC), visual inspection, and alignment with your laboratory acceptance criteria.
