Research Notes
Extracellular Matrix Signaling
Referenced in in-vitro studies of matrix metalloproteinase and growth-factor interactions in dermal fibroblast cultures.
Copper-Peptide Biochemistry
Studied for collagen-related signaling markers in isolated cell systems. Cell-culture data does not establish clinical efficacy.
Handling
- Wear laboratory PPE; the solution carries a characteristic blue color from the copper complex.
- Reconstitute gently with sterile water down the vial wall; swirl, do not shake.
- Handle only in a controlled laboratory environment by trained personnel.
Storage
- Store lyophilized powder at -4°F (-20°C) long-term; stable refrigerated short-term.
- Reconstituted solution should be refrigerated at 36–46°F (2–8°C) and protected from light.
- Avoid freeze–thaw cycling; the copper complex is sensitive to prolonged light exposure.
Additional Information
- Third-party HPLC/MS tested; CoA available per lot.
- USA manufactured, shipped as lyophilized powder.
- For in-vitro laboratory research only.
Frequently Asked
Why is the reconstituted solution blue?
The color comes from the bound copper(II) ion — a normal characteristic of the GHK-Cu complex.
