Reference identifiers come from PubChem and describe the reference compound. They do not establish the salt form or specification of an individual batch; consult that batch’s certificate of analysis.
Research background
GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) is a tripeptide that binds copper(II) to form the GHK-Cu complex. Published work includes gene-expression analyses run through the Connectivity Map database using human PC3 and MCF7 cell line profiles (Pickart and Margolina, OBM Geriatrics 2018).
Quality and documentation
Every ETHOS batch is 8X tested, meaning eight different tests, before it ships. Batch COAs are published and searchable by lot number in the ETHOS public COA portal; see also our quality testing page and the guide how to read a peptide certificate of analysis.
Storage and handling
Store sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Handle in a laboratory setting by qualified personnel. Research use only.
