Melanotan I is a synthetic, linear α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) analog with the sequence Ac-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NH₂. It is primarily studied for its activity at melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) and its role in melanocortin receptor activation.

In vitro studies indicate that Melanotan I activates cAMP-dependent signaling pathways associated with pigmentation regulation and photoprotective responses. As a research compound, it is commonly used in receptor pharmacology and cell-signaling investigations examining peptide–GPCR interactions and downstream transcriptional regulation under controlled laboratory conditions.

Research Applications

GHK-Cu is widely used in laboratory research to study fibroblast migration, immune cell recruitment, angiogenic signaling pathways, and extracellular matrix synthesis. Common experimental models include dermal fibroblast cultures, endothelial cell–based assays, neuronal regeneration frameworks, and controlled preclinical animal studies.

Additional research applications involve the investigation of oxidative stress modulation, antimicrobial peptide interactions, stem-cell–associated signaling markers, and transcriptional responses linked to tissue remodeling and regenerative processes under controlled experimental conditions.

Mechanistic Context

Mechanistic investigations suggest that GHK-Cu influences multiple biochemical pathways, including integrin-mediated signaling, regulation of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine activity, and activation of antioxidant response elements.

Gene expression analyses further indicate that GHK-Cu affects transcriptional networks involved in cellular migration, extracellular matrix turnover, neuronal viability, and redox homeostasis. Copper sequestration by the peptide may reduce metal-catalyzed oxidative stress, thereby altering downstream signaling cascades under controlled experimental conditions.

Preclinical Research Summary

Preclinical investigations of GHK-Cu include in-vitro fibroblast and keratinocyte models, neuronal regeneration assays, antimicrobial interaction studies, and multiple in-vivo animal models of tissue injury and inflammation.

Experimental observations report enhanced cellular migration, increased extracellular matrix deposition, modulation of inflammatory mediators, and altered gene-expression patterns associated with regeneration and stress response. These findings are presented solely as laboratory observations without implication of clinical, cosmetic, or therapeutic outcomes.

Form & Analytical Testing

GHK-Cu is supplied as a synthetic, research-grade peptide complex. Product identity and purity are verified using validated analytical methods, including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS). Batch-specific analytical documentation is provided where applicable.

Storage Instructions

All products are manufactured using a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process, which enhances stability during storage and transport. When stored properly, lyophilized peptides remain stable for shipping for up to 3 to 4 months.

Lyophilization, also known as cryodesiccation, is a dehydration process in which peptides are first frozen and then exposed to reduced pressure. This allows water to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white solid commonly referred to as a lyophilized peptide. In this form, peptides may be stored at room temperature until reconstitution.

Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, peptides must be stored under refrigeration to maintain stability. After reconstitution, refrigerated peptides are generally stable for up to 30 days.

Upon receipt, peptides should be kept cold and protected from light. For short-term storage (days to weeks), refrigeration at or below 4°C (39°F) is recommended. Lyophilized peptides are typically stable at room temperature for short durations; however, refrigeration is preferred when possible.

For long-term storage (several months to years), peptides should be stored frozen. Deep freezing at −80°C (−112°F) is optimal for preserving peptide stability over extended periods.
