AHK-Cu

AHK-Cu

≥99%

AHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide (Ala-His-Lys complexed with copper(II)) that has been the subject of research into copper-ion transport, extracellular matrix signaling pathways, and dermal fibroblast activity. Published studies have investigated its role in wound-repair models, angiogenesis-related cellular systems, and hair-follicle research in preclinical settings. It is one of the more frequently referenced copper-peptide compounds in dermatological and matrix-biology research literature, alongside its structural analog GHK-Cu.
