- Direct answer: GHK-Cu and KPV have different stability profiles in laboratory storage. Lyophilized, both are stable for extended periods under proper cold storage. In solution, KPV is generally considered the more forgiving of the two because it has no metal center to destabilize. GHK-Cu's copper complex is sensitive to pH drift outside the 6.5–7.5 range, to strong reducing agents, and to prolonged light exposure. Both peptides benefit from aliquoting, -20°C or -80°C storage for long-term retention, and avoidance of repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

- This article compares the two peptides across the three stability axes that matter most for research handling: temperature, pH, and time in solution.
