Copper peptide, laboratory definition
Copper peptide, in this catalog, means glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine coordinated to copper(II): GHK-Cu. The peptide portion is three residues. The complex is the research ligand used in extracellular-matrix and gene-expression assays. A copper salt is not that complex, and the metal-free tripeptide is not that complex unless the lot report says so.
The class page is copper peptides. The 50 mg listing is the single-complex SKU. GLOW and KLOW are multi-peptide fills. Their certificates, when published, are their own rows. The GHK-Cu library entry does not document those blends. Read What is GHK-Cu? for the sequence note.
Frequently asked questions
- Does a GHK-Cu Certificate of Analysis cover GLOW or KLOW?
- No. GLOW 70 mg and KLOW 80 mg are separate SKUs. Open each blend's own certificate when one is published.
