Mechanism

How researchers describe GHK-Cu

GHK forms a stable 1:1 complex with Cu(II); preclinical work documents modulation of MMP-2, decorin, antioxidant gene expression, and copper-dependent enzymes in cultured fibroblasts.

Pathways
  • Copper transport / SOD3
  • MMP-2 / TIMP-2
  • Decorin synthesis
Storage & handling

Refrigerated reconstituted. Lyophilized: −20°C, light-protected.

FAQ

Common researcher questions

Is this for human use?+

No. All X Factor research peptides are RUO — sold solely for in-vitro and non-clinical preclinical research. Not for human or veterinary use, food, supplement, cosmetic, or therapeutic application.

How is purity verified?+

Every lot ships with the supplier’s per-lot COA (HPLC purity, plus LC-MS identity where applicable). COA available per lot — request via contact form.

How is it shipped?+

Lyophilized peptide in a sealed glass vial, packed in plain outer packaging, shipped from our US fulfillment partner. Blends ship with cold-pack on request.

Can I get a COA before ordering?+

Yes — contact us with the SKU and we will email the most recent lot COA. We also publish the COA vault to verified researchers post-purchase.
