{"product_id":"ghk-cu-50mg-copper-peptide","title":"GHK-Cu 50mg (Copper Peptide)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGHK-Cu 50mg Copper Tripeptide Complex\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. The free tripeptide was first described in human plasma in the early 1970s. In the presence of copper(II) it forms a stable coordination complex, and that complex is what we supply here, not the free peptide. The copper is what gives the lyophilised solid its blue colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdentity and specification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct name:\u003c\/strong\u003e GHK-Cu 50mg (Copper Peptide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSynonyms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper tripeptide-1, Prezatide copper, Cu-GHK, GHK copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS number (copper complex):\u003c\/strong\u003e 89030-95-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS number of the free tripeptide, for reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49557-75-7 (not the identifier for this product)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePubChem CID:\u003c\/strong\u003e 165429100 for the neutral 1:1 complex, 71587328 for prezatide copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e C14H22CuN6O4 (neutral 1:1 complex)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 401.9 g\/mol.

They are two different materials. The free tripeptide carries CAS 49557-75-7 and a molecular weight of 340.38. The copper complex carries CAS 89030-95-5 and a molecular weight of roughly 402.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePubChem catalogues the complex in more than one form. The neutral 1:1 complex sits at 401.91, a cationic form at 402.92, and a 2:1 species at 744.3. Quoted masses therefore vary a little between sources depending on which is being described. What does not vary is the difference between complexed and uncomplexed material. Before comparing listings on mass or on price per milligram, confirm which of the two a supplier is quoting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance and batch colour variation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour ranges from deep blue to a lighter blue between batches. This is normal. It comes down to synthesis route, water content and storage conditions, and it is not an indicator of purity. We have supplied this compound for many years and the variation has been consistent across that period. Purity is measured by HPLC rather than inferred from how the vial looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage and stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied lyophilised. Store the sealed vial at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Lyophilised material is the stable presentation. Once in solution, stability drops and is affected by temperature, light and the solvent used. Copper complexes are also sensitive to chelating agents and to strongly acidic or alkaline conditions, so buffer selection matters here in a way it does not for uncomplexed peptides. All handling and laboratory procedures are determined by the receiving laboratory under its own protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSynthesis and quality control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSynthesised under controlled conditions and tested per batch. Identity and purity are established by reverse-phase HPLC. A purity figure quoted without a stated method is not comparable between suppliers, because the number depends on how it was measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLegal and safety information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK Peptides supplies GHK-Cu strictly as a laboratory research chemical.
