AHK-Cu

AHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) – Lyophilized Peptide Vial

Product Overview

AHK-Cu (Ala-His-Lys: Cu2+) is a synthetically produced, high-stability copper complex neuropeptide consisting of the amino acids alanine, histidine, and lysine structurally bound to a copper ion. In in vitro and dermatological biochemical research, AHK-Cu is extensively utilized to investigate cellular proliferation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway activation. Laboratory studies focus heavily on its interaction with human dermal papilla cells, exploring its capacity to modulate tissue-remodeling cascades, promote follicular proliferation, and stimulate the synthesis of essential structural proteins such as collagen and elastin within structural matrix tissue models.
