AHK-CU – 10mg

AHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide L-alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (Ala-His-Lys). It is structurally related to GHK-Cu, with alanine replacing glycine at the first amino-acid position. Despite this similarity, AHK-Cu is a distinct compound and should not automatically be associated with the broader research literature surrounding GHK-Cu. The 10 mg presentation is intended for qualified research environments conducting controlled investigations into copper-peptide chemistry, dermal papilla cell biology, hair-follicle models, cellular signaling, and related preclinical research.

Key Features

10 mg research-grade AHK-Cu Copper-bound Ala-His-Lys tripeptide AHK-Cu / Alanyl-Histidyl-Lysine copper complex Structurally related to GHK-Cu Relevant to hair-follicle and dermal papilla research Suitable for copper-peptide and cellular signaling studies Intended for controlled laboratory and preclinical research Appropriate for peptide characterization and analytical workflows Batch-level analytical documentation may be provided for applicable lots Research Focus AHK-Cu has been investigated in ex vivo human hair-follicle models and cultured dermal papilla cells. A published study reported effects on hair-follicle elongation and dermal papilla cell proliferation, alongside changes in several cellular markers. These findings provide a basis for continued laboratory investigation but do not establish clinical efficacy in humans. Research on AHK-Cu remains considerably more limited than research on GHK-Cu, with the available evidence being predominantly laboratory-based. Claims concerning human hair growth, skin rejuvenation, or therapeutic effects should therefore not be inferred from related copper-peptide research.
