AHK-Cu is a synthetic copper-binding tripeptide made of three amino acids (alanine, histidine, and lysine). It is a close cousin of GHK-Cu, swapping in alanine where GHK uses glycine, and it is best known in cosmetic peptide and hair follicle research.
Like other copper peptides, it carries a copper ion that lets it act as a signaling molecule in cell-based research models, which is why it turns up as a reference compound in this kind of work.
Research Applications
- Cosmetic peptide research
- Hair follicle research models
- Copper-binding and copper-transport studies
- Cell-signaling research
Supplied as a lyophilized powder for stability.
