Cu(II)GTSM (Cat No.:I044418) is a copper-containing complex used in biomedical research to study copper homeostasis, oxidative stress, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. It readily crosses cell membranes and delivers bioavailable copper intracellularly, where it can participate in redox cycling and modulate cellular processes. Cu(II)GTSM has shown neuroprotective and cytotoxic effects depending on concentration and context, making it a valuable tool in models of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, and cancer. Its ability to release copper under reducing conditions enables targeted exploration of copper’s biological roles and therapeutic potential.
