Copper tripeptide-3 · Ala-His-Lys-Cu

AHK-Cu

AHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-3) is a synthetic tripeptide — alanyl-histidyl-lysine — complexed with copper(II), studied in vitro primarily in hair-follicle research. It is a copper-peptide counterpart to GHK-Cu, supplied as a reference material for laboratory use only.

Research context

AHK-Cu is referenced in in-vitro research on dermal-papilla cell biology, anagen-phase signalling, collagen synthesis and angiogenesis. As with all copper peptides, the Cu²⁺ complex is central to its studied activity. No human-use claims are made.

Research fields

• Hair-follicle & dermal-papilla research
• Collagen-synthesis signalling
• Angiogenesis research
