Skin research peptides

GHK-Cu, Glutathione and Melanotan-2 for extracellular-matrix, redox and melanocortin-receptor research. Research use only.

Quick answer

Skin research compounds are tool compounds used in laboratory studies of fibroblasts, the extracellular matrix and melanocortin receptors. GHK-Cu, the copper complex of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, has been studied in dermal fibroblast cultures for matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression. Glutathione is a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine and glycine and a thiol-containing antioxidant studied in redox research. Melanotan-2 is a synthetic cyclic alpha-MSH analog that acts as a nonselective melanocortin receptor agonist. For research use only.

Questions

What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is the copper complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. It has been studied in fibroblast cultures for matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression and in gene-expression analyses.
What is the difference between GHK-Cu and glutathione?
Both are tripeptides with different roles in research. GHK-Cu is a copper complex studied in fibroblast and extracellular-matrix work. Glutathione is built from glutamate, cysteine and glycine and is studied as a thiol-containing antioxidant in redox research.
Is Melanotan-2 an approved product?
No. It is sold here as a research compound for melanocortin-receptor studies only.
Are these compounds for human or animal use?
No. Every compound in this category is sold for laboratory research use only, not for human or animal consumption.

How do GHK-Cu, glutathione and melanotan-2 differ?

The three compounds work on different targets. GHK-Cu is the copper complex of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine; in dermal fibroblast cultures it increased matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression, and its gene-expression data have been reviewed. Glutathione is a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine and glycine and a thiol-containing antioxidant.
