Copper Peptide GHK-Cu
Also known as: GHK-Cu, Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine:Copper(II), Copper Tripeptide-1, Linus Pauling Peptide
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide first identified in human plasma by Loren Pickart in 1973. It is found in blood, saliva, and urine, with plasma levels declining from about 200 ng/mL at age 20 to 80 ng/mL by age 60. The copper ion is essential for its biological activity, as it enables the peptide to serve as a bioavailable copper delivery system. GHK-Cu exerts its biolog...
Quick Facts
Sequence: Gly-His-Lys (with Cu2+ ion)
MW: 403.93 g/mol (copper complex)
CAS: 49557-75-7
Store lyophilized powder at -20C, protected from light. The copper complex is stable but can oxidize; minimize exposure ...
Epithalon (Epitalon)
Also known as: Epithalon, Epithalone, Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on the naturally occurring peptide epithalamin, which is extracted from the pineal gland. Developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, epitalon is the most extensively studied of the Khavinson peptide bioregulators. Its primary mechanism of action involves activation of telomerase, the enzyme ...
