AHK-CU

Description

AHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide complex (Ala-His-Lys) studied alongside GHK-Cu for effects on hair follicle biology and tissue remodeling. For laboratory research use only.

AHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide composed of alanine, histidine, and lysine complexed with copper(II). Like its better-known relative GHK-Cu, it has been studied for its ability to deliver copper to cells and influence pathways involved in extracellular matrix synthesis, angiogenesis, and follicular signaling. Research interest has centered on hair growth models, where copper peptides have been observed to affect vascular endothelial growth factor expression and dermal papilla cell activity, as well as on skin remodeling and antioxidant research. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for in-vitro and laboratory research use only.

This product is supplied as a lyophilized powder and is intended for laboratory and research use only. Not for human consumption. Each vial contains 100mg of research-grade material.
